I was on the business trip with customer and after having all the meetings decided to go for some sightseeing. My colleagues took us to the Morsgaard Museum which is like 15 min drive from city center. And it’s impressed me a lot. First of all architecture. The museum itself is a very modern building. Then the exhibition. It’s a great mix of multimedia (including VR) and standard Exponates. Very interesting but also time consuming. Just 1-2 hours will be not enough at all to go through the exhibition. So it’s worth planning in advance for the whole day.

Den Gamle By

A great idyllic place inside Aarhus. Relive the town in 3 different time periods. You will definitely spend more time than you originally intended to. Free 5 hour parking in the nearby roads.

Aros Aarhus Kunstmuseum

Welcome to ARoS Aarhus Art Museum - one of Europe's largest art museums situated in the heart of Aarhus, and the only one with a rainbow on top, Your rainbow Panorama. ARoS is a house of art where our guests can be pleased, enlightened and challenged. The architecture is of international class. The same is the art. And both offer experiences of high carat: from light to thrill, from attitude to entertainment, from joy to challenge.

This is a must see cultural attraction in Aarhus. Wonderful Exhibitions (some are interactive). Parents are bringing kids because there are parts of museum just for them. Panorama in rainbow colors is great! You can see the whole town. Everything is well explained. There is a great museum shop.

Marselisborg Deer Park

Reviewed By Marcus L - Horsham, United Kingdom

Interesting park just south of Aarhus, with a variety of different deer types. The deer were friendly, and could be hand fed, though the Muntjacs seemed to be a little more cautious. It's best to come in the week, as it does get very busy at weekends, and the deer have more than enough carrots to choose from.

Djurs Sommerland

Djurs Sommerland - Welcome to Scandinavia’s biggest Summerland. World-class fun for all the family. Get ready for Denmark’s biggest roller coasters, the giant Aqua Park and more than 60 fun rides for all the family. Don’t forget to try DrageKongen, Europe’s fastest and longest family suspended coaster, and two new rides - Jungle Rally and Safaribussen

Reviewed By elRolfo - Bergen, Norway

The park itself is quite nice, with lots of rides and attractions for all ages. Large green areas where you can picnic. Lots of trampolines and play area for the youngest. Pretty big water park too, but this was totally congested when we visited a sunny day in July. All over, be prepared for lots of people and long queues in high season, even to buy ice cream or refreshments.

Viborg Domkirke

Reviewed By Celia387 - Middlesbrough, United Kingdom

This is a lovely church light and airy; the walls and ceilings filled with frescoes, for a moment I thought I was in Florence! I was particularly impressed with a large fresco illustrating the story of the Great Feast, where those invited declined to go and so beggars and poor were brought instead.It is the first time I have ever seen this story illustrated in frescoes. Previously a Roman Catholic Cathedral, I believe, Nice area in Crypt.

Randers Regnskov

Reviewed By Peter A - Seville, Spain

Exciting place to visit for kids and adults with lots of exotic species in well-designed installations. Most (although not all) animals seem to have reasonable space and interesting facts are presented throughout. A bit pricy (high season ticket prices despite low season opening hours, no discounts for elderly). Detailed explanations by guide at exciting jaguar feeding (the two animals had to work for the food).

Faengslet

FAENGSLET i Horsens er en Kulturinstitution med mange facetter. I centrum star de gamle bygninger, som siden 1853 har vaeret hjemsteddet for nogle af de mest hardkogte kriminelle hjerner. Horsens Statsfaengsel satte frem til 2006 sit praeg pa stedet. I den store hovedbygning finder man i dag Faengselsmuseet, hvor Nordeuropas storste og mest unikke faengselsamling er udstillet over 4 etager. Turistinformationen i Horsens er ligeledes at finde herpa Faengslet. Leder I efter et sted at holde jeres naeste store firmafest, konference eller helt specielle teambuildingoplevelser, kan Faengslet ogsa levere. De unikke lokaler, som den gamle Arrestafdeling, Snedkeriet eller Gl. Celle, hvor fire abne celleetager abner sig op, er ideelle til at skabe en anderledes modeoplevelse. Faengslet danner rammen om mange store koncerter. Bl.A. Kan Faengselsgarden bryste sig af at have lagt hus til Rasmus Seebach, Runrig, Tom Petty m.Fl., Og sommeren 2014 byder ogsa pa L.O.C. Pa det store faengselsareal vest for bygningerne har Metallica optradt, og denne plads kan ligeledes i 2014 byde pa store navne som Aerosmith og Volbeat samt "revisit" af Metallica. Faengslet er ogsa udlejer for mange af Horsens' interessenter. Horsens and Friends holder til i Forbygningen, og flere kunstnergrupper har ogsa vaerksted i bygningerne. Vi ser frem til at tage godt imod jer som gaester pa Faengslet.

The idea is great. First time we ever enter a prison building and it felt at times rather sad looking at the exhibits of prison life. There are videos and photographs re-telling the stories of its famous prisoners and staff.Dear guest, Thank you very much for this review. It means a lot to us. Take care and we hope to see you again in the future. Best regards, Michael

Many activities for all ages, beautiful architecture, interesting art and decor, comfortable areas to relax or read in. You can also get brochures for the upcoming events of all the art related locations in the city.
There are even interactive areas to build things, I think.

Explore 4 different climate zones with beautiful flowers and impressive plants or take a break in the cafe and enjoy the food and the green surroundings.

In the plant collections and many other places in the Greenhouses you can hear stories of nature's wealth and influence in our daily lives.

After years of neglect, this section of the botanical Gardens in Aarhus has become amazingly wonderful place to go with children or without them, and walk around so beautifully designed and welcoming green house. The variety of trees and plants, the loving sounds of birds, some butterflies flying around - the whole experience is so peaceful and pleasing. The pace is becoming more and more popular with families with small children. Most importantly, the entry is free, and I hope that it stays free before some gods of money-minded managers put a ticket on this. A must visit in Aarhus
