Three Days in Aarhus, Denmark: A Complete Guide on Where to Stay, Eat, and Explore
As part of our 10-day honeymoon in Denmark, my husband and I spent three days in the City of Smiles — Aarhus.
Aarhus is Denmark’s second-largest city and the largest city in Jutland. Aarhus can be easily accessed by plane, train, or automobile. (We opted to take a three-hour train from Copenhagen, but Aarhus does have its own airport.) As you move throughout the city’s museums, theaters, cafes, and incredible restaurants, you will notice striking architectural styles ranging from the Viking age to modern times. Just outside the city are vast forests and beaches begging for exploration. And, of course, you will find the cozy feeling of hygge around every corner.
Where to Stay
We chose to stay at Hotel Oasia for all three nights of our stay in Aarhus. The location can’t be beat — less than a five-minute walk from the train station and within walking distance of bus stops, restaurants, and most attractions. We splurged on the Wedding Room and loved relaxing in the soaking tub after long days exploring the city. The hotel also offers a delicious complimentary breakfast, which we ate every day of our stay.
