Arhus, Denmark
-
Arhus has a hilly landscape interspersed with forests and meadows, but has sandy beaches.
Sitting on Jutland’s eastern coast amid beaches and woodland, Århus is Denmark’s second-largest city, and is packed with places of interest for the visitor. Den Gamle By (The Old Town) is a wonderful open-air museum with about 80 buildings from all over Denmark, dating from the 17th- and 18th-centuries, while a trip to the Arhus Kunstmuseum is also recommended. The unique Århus Radhus (town hall) was controversial when finished by Arne Jacobsen in 1942, but some of the best views in the city are found at the top of its 60m clock-tower. The Forhistorisk Museum Moesgard houses a unique collection of prehistoric artefacts, including the town’s most famous inhabitant – 2,000-year-old Graubelle Man, found preserved in a nearby bog in 1952. It’s also well worth exploring the narrow streets of the town, enjoying a drink at one of the many bars and cafés, and finding interesting shops selling hand-made local products.
