Aarhus, Denmark’s second-largest city, is shaped by culture, creativity, and education. The large student population and a strong academic presence, gives the city a young and energetic atmosphere. As Aarhus continues to grow, architects and city planners are rethinking housing, public spaces, and infrastructure to meet the needs of an expanding population.
The city’s roots stretch back to the 8th century, when Vikings founded a settlement at the mouth of the river Aros. Even today the river still flows through the heart of the city creating a lively, pedestrian environment at its center. Aarhus also boasts a rich architectural heritage rooted in the Scandinavian welfare model, where modernist design and urban planning have long aimed to improve everyday life for all residents.
Guided tours available in English, German, Scandinavian, Dutch, Spanish, French and Japanese.
