Byvandringer i Aarhus

City walk to the Cathedral of Aarhus and the viking museum.

Walk down through the centuries and see the small Viking exhibition telling the story of Viking age Aarhus.

Walk into the medieval days in the impressive Cathedral of Aarhus; the longest and tallest church in Denmark, and one of the oldest redbrick buildings in Jutland. Its construction began in the year 1190.

Visit the fantastic Open-Air museum Den Gamle By – the Old Town – with the old houses, cobble stoned streets and people dressed up in old clothing in the high season.

Pass medieval houses and along the river at this city walk in the centre of Aarhus. Walk with me and get a vast impression of Aarhus, the capital of Jutland.

It is a moderate walking tour. We use public transportation one way.

From cruise ships which do not dock in the inner harbour, shuttle bus transport to the town centre is needed and ½ hour added to the tour.

Please note that the cathedral can be closed due to service, and there will be an entrance fee.

Book a guided tour of the palace gardens of her majesty Queen Margrethe's summer residence, which are open to the public, when the Royal family is not in residence.

The gardens were landscaped in English style while the palace was being built in 1902. A lot has happened since, and the gardens have been extended and modified several times.

Queen Alexandrine (1879-1952) contributed to designing the gardens, as botany and landscaping were her special interests. Her granddaughter, our queen Margrethe II, took over the palace in 1967 and has put her artistic touch to the gardens. For this reason the park today contains a large number of sculptures including some by HRH Prince Henrik, the prince consort.

Let me introduce you to the history, the garden and the residents of Marselisborg Palace over the years, and see the garden's many works of arts including some of the latest additions, like the sculpture "3 Lions And 9 Hearts", which was the 70th birthday present to HM the Queen by the city of Aarhus. I will also show you the Rose Garden, which holds a number of old Danish roses.

City walk from the past to the future. From the city of vikings to the modern city with Danish art and craft.

After a pleasant visit to the Museum of the vikings (open Monday-Friday only), the guide will take you downtown. Experience the merchant district with small cafees, Danish design and bikes all over.

The tour finish at the museum of modern art: ARoS. Feel free to visit the special exhibitions, have a look at the city from the roof or enjoy a meal in the restaurant. At ARoS you'll find wonderful pieces of Danish and European art from the last 300 years.

Guided tour through the outdoor art scene in Aarhus, where you will see both old and new artpieces come to life through scupltures and street art.

The city that is full of culture and life, reveals its street art on walls and in the streets. On this guided tour, you will get to know much more about Aarhus' impressive collection of street art and public art in general, and the stories behind the art works. 

This guided tour is also a great opportunity to explore the many neighbourhoods that the city consists of.
