Top 10 Free Things to do in Aarhus, Jutland

January 22, 2022 Emerita Lamoureux

Jutland's cultural heart, Århus is an exuberant university town with a perfectly preserved old town and a recreated historic village, Den Gamle By. The top draw is the Moesgard Museum of Prehistory, showcasing exhibits from the Stone Age to Viking days and home to the city's most famous citizen, the 2000-year-old Grauballe Man. It's a lively spot, teeming with cafes, restaurants, clubs and cinemas. Denmark's second-largest city perches on Jutland's eastern coast amid beaches and woodland.

Originally I wanted to see Den Gamle By. It might be a nice place but I had that kind of feeling it was a tourist trap. So I went to the botanical garden instead which turned out to be a great decision. Not only is the entrance to the greenhouse free, there are even lots of beautiful butterflies, fish and even more exotic plants of course. I probably enjoyed this place much more than I would have enjoyed the old town.

Take a stroll through Møllestien while you are going from ARoS to Åen or the Latin quarter anyway. Cozy with a great atmosphere cobbled stones and old, old houses.

This is a place to unwind. I love to go to Egå Engsø with my bike and walk (or bike) around it. The nature is beautiful (- but you do hear the traffic). As I was raised close to nature, this place is one of the current favorites in my new home town. (Some pictures are from the summer..)

This is a great place for a different shopping experience. There are lots of interesting boutiques and you don’t have to settle for your average chain stores. Make sure to stop for a coffee or drinks at some of the nice places in the neighbourhood.
