Amazing amusement park in the heart of the city. Not too big, not too small and with a big selection of thrilling rides and eateries for all sizes. You can even bring your own food/dinner and grill it near the swan lake (grills are provided). A great way to spend a lazy evening.

My go-to joint for a proper coffee fix. There's a few around the city and all are equally good!

Best seafood in Aarhus and tucked away in one of the city's best neighborhoods (Latin District). It's small and fills up fast, so best to book in advance. Their weekend brunch is the best in Aarhus!

This is a massive amusement park nestled in the Danish countryside less than an hour from Aarhus (45 min. from Koldkilde 103). Definitely worth a day-trip! The rollercoasters are world class and there's something for every age group - there's even a water park during the summer/warm days. Warning: things can get a bit crowded during the summer so plan to arrive early or later to avoid the crowds.

A street food bazar for the modern-day foodie with offerings ranging from Vietnamese to duck-fried-fries (delectable). It's a great place for trying new eats and because of its popularity, people watching ;-)

The orginal LEGOLAND, what more needs to be said? About an 1.5 hr. drive south to Billund. Combine it with a trip to the waterpark Lalandia for a day-trip.
