Aarhus walking tour and its essentials

Aarhuscard

Before starting your walking tour in Aarhus you want to make sure that you are choosing the most affordable ways of exploring the city. In Aarhus, you can purchase an Aarhuscard that allows you to use public transport unlimitedly and gives you free access to most of the cultural attractions and museums.

This way you can save a lot of money and it is up to you if you want to buy this card for one, two, three or five days.

City center

To discover what the city is all about, you should start in the city centre. After seeing the harbour and enjoying the outstanding city hall, our tip is to just wander on the streets and you will find out how diverse the city is.

You can start on the typical Danish Frederiksbjerg quarter, then move on to the oldest part, the Latin quarter. In the Latin Quarter, you will find Pustervig Torv square where you can take a break and visit one of the small and cozy cafés.

For a slight change you can continue on to the Møllestien, a beautiful ancient street, and finish off on Strøget, which is the longest street and the best one to do some shopping.

Museums

During your Aarhus walking tour, you will notice the beautiful architecture that the city is well known for. To fully appreciate the variety of styles you should get your Aarhuscard out and head to museums. Don’t get scared by the word museum, because these are not the classical boring ones.

In the center, you should go to Den Gamle By (The Old Town Museum) which is full of historical and cultural events and exhibitions. On the contrary, there is an Art Museum in Aarhus, which represents the innovative culture of the city. Apart from all the others, one of the most interesting museums is the Moesgaard Museum, which combines the past with the future and you can interactively explore its exhibits.
