Aarhus, Denmark's second city, is a lively university town on the east coast of Jutland, with a medieval Latin Quarter, a striking modern waterfront and one of Scandinavia's best art museums.
Art and history
ARoS Aarhus Art Museum is crowned by 'Your Rainbow Panorama', a circular walkway of colored glass with views over the city. Den Gamle By is an open-air museum of old Danish houses and shops.
The city
The Latin Quarter has cobbled lanes and cafés, and the canal street Åboulevarden is lined with terraces. The harbor district has the Iceberg apartments and the Dokk1 library.
