We think Aarhus is Denmark's best kept secret! It's size, it's feel, it's food, it's buzz. You can explore the city easily on foot and we find it super safe, there's a reason it's called the 'City of smiles'. Here are some of our favourite spots / things to do...

COFFEE AND GREAT BAKES.

La Cabra

Monk

Jumbo

Coffee Collective

If you're peckish, order a 'BMO', you won't regret it!

DRINKS.

Hella, Aarhus Ø- great cocktails, awesome chill atmosphere

Mas Vino, city centre - great food and wine

Pinot, Vestergade- cosy wine bar

Salling rooftop- great views, especially on a sunny day

FOOD.

Aarhus Streetfood, Banken and Nicolinehus are three different food halls with great atmospheres and easy, affordable options

Vestelauget- serves just two options each day, one meat, one vegetarian. Great ingredients, great price. One to try if you're up for local Danish dishes

Hanzo- awesome Asian food in stylish setting with an affordable tasting menu

Skovmollen Ø- the best open sandwiches (but slightly pricey)

Mefisto- great seafood, try a 'Shooting star' if you're feeling hungry

Il Locale- Jack's favourite pizza!

Emma Emma- great brunch, order the everything plate

Cafe Drudenfuss- the best smashed avo! Order the 'avocadosandwich'

Grød, Latin Quarter- oats and chia bowls

Sesam- great poke bowls and breakfast plate

Clementine- very central, good food and cocktails

Bistro 65- French restaurant on Jaegergardsgade. Check out this street for more options as it's full of bars and restaurants and has a real European vibe

Byens Ismejeri- ice cream, all the flavours!

Tipping is not really a thing here, you can expect great food but be prepared for slower service!

OUTDOORS.

Sea dips- bring your swimwear!

Running- awesome routes through forests and along the sea front (ask Nicola for routes)

Donkey bikes / Scooters- an easy and affordable way to see the city

Infinity bridge- a unique way of 'walking on water'

Beaches- Riskov, Marselisborg

Frederiksbjerg- Denmarks take on Southern Europe with cafes and bars with outdoor seating. Great people watching spot.
