Did you know that Aarhus is surrounded by forests and beaches? 🌲 No matter where you are, you’re never far from a refreshing dip in the sea or a peaceful walk under the beech trees, away from traffic and the hustle of the city 🚛

In fact, it’s only 2 km to Marselisborg Forest and Beach to the south and 2.5 km to Risskov to the north from the central train station 🚃

The people of Aarhus take their dogs for walks, stroll with their prams, go on dates, run, bike, forage, swim, and unwind in their nearby nature, which is always easy to reach. And we do it all year round 🚲🍂🦮

We believe it’s one of the reasons why we’re among the happiest cities in the world 💚

With 17 different craft beers on tap, all brewed just behind the bar, you’re right in the heart of the brewing process, making you even more thirsty and curious about the craft pours 🍺

Pair your pint with savory dishes like classic open-faced sandwiches, beer-braised pork, or fish n’ chips, all served by the waterside or indoors in the industrial setting. Cheers to good times by the harbor! ⚓️

A look back at an adventurous outdoor festival in Silkeborg this weekend 🪵🔥⛺️

Lunden, in Denmark’s outdoor capital, was wrapped in campfire smoke, adorned with tents, furs, and bushcraft gear, and filled with laughter and inspiring talks 🌲

The program featured stories about cycling around the world, road-tripping in a camper van through Canada, foraging for mushrooms, and participating in Alone in the Wilderness. There were also canoeing intros, yoga sessions, shelter-building workshops, along with dancing and live music 🍄‍🟫

We’ll do it all again, and more, next year, so keep an eye out for the event! 🪶

Aarhus city center is wrapped in magical light and artistic installations, casting patterns, shadows, and dancing light spots across cobblestones, building facades, and dark harbor waters. Grab your friend and embark on a light walk through Aarhus Light Festival during Festugen 💡🪩🌈

You can experience:

“Lunar Oscillations” is a mesmerizing space filled with blinking stars and moons in various phases – it’s like stepping into a hypnotic night sky. The artwork is completed by a heavenly, relaxing soundtrack, creating a cosmic audio-visual landscape at Bispetorvet ✨

“A-RE” – a jellyfish-like underwater creature made from discarded trash-tech dumped in the oceans, needing your breath to light up 🪼

“REFLECTED,” which transforms in the dark with the help of your flashlight, bike light, or the flash of your phone’s camera 🔦

“Normal.” For 25 years, Jyllands-Posten’s photographer Casper Dalhoff has photographed life at Denmark’s largest residential facility for people with physical and mental disabilities. The work questions our perception of the concept of “normality.” 📷

“Magic Mushrooms” is a work featuring a model of an imaginary, exotic metropolis mounted upside down on the underside of The Ramp 🏙️

Experience these and many more and check the locations and hours at ‘s programme.

These works are by Elmgreen & Dragset, Moto Muto, Vibhor Sogani, Arthur Maria Steijn, Shuster + Moseley, Scenograferne+, Xavi Bové, Casper Dalhoff.

We’re not gonna lie, it can be tough to find real spice in Aarhus, Denmark 🌶️

But Nikoline has answered our prayers, bringing the heat of chili, coriander, and garlic back from her many travels in Mexico. As the head chef of Taqueria Local, she’s fallen head over heels for Mexican culture - especially its bold and vibrant flavors 🇲🇽🌵

You’ll find her running a cozy little spot on Jægergårdsgade in Aarhus. The space might be snug, but the menu is anything but. Whether you’re craving saucy birria, tangy chicken, or umami-packed mushroom tacos, you’re in for a treat. And if burritos are more your style, try one stuffed to the brim with black beans, pico de gallo, and succulent pork 🌮🫘🌯

Just make sure you don’t skip the homemade totopos - Nikoline’s personal favorite. And the salsas and dips are what really tie it all together 🍅

Savor your authentic Mexican feast right there in the intimate restaurant, or grab it to go and enjoy it in one of Aarhus’s many parks or down by the beach 🏝️

The Aarhus Region vibrates with life, music, art and food during the summer 🌞 But outside the cities you’ll find a slower pace at farm shops full of Danish produce, fruit and vegetables, cozy cafes with home-baked goods and cuddly farm animals in wonderful settings 🐖🌾
