Highlights of Aarhus
Sit back and enjoy the sights on your narrated ride to the Aarhus Cathedral. You'll pass the University, Botanical Garden, Music Hall, and one of Europe’s largest art museums – the contemporary ARoS Art Museum, with its iconic rainbow-coloured roof installation. Dating from 1190, the Aarhus Cathedral is one of the oldest redbrick buildings in Jutland. Stretching over 300 feet long, with a 310-foot-high bell tower, it’s also Denmark’s longest and tallest church. The inside is no less spectacular, with over 200 14th and 15th-century frescoes, and a magnificent 16th-century carved altar. You’ll also visit the Den Gamle By Museum and witness a recreated, traditional Danish village. Staff in period costumes bring the village to life with more than 75 historic structures collected from around Denmark, including artisan workshops, residences and a post office.
