Discover Aarhus

The ARoS Aarhus Art Museum ranks among Northern Europe's most significant art museums and is world-famous for its circular glass roof called Din Blinde Passager, better known as Your Rainbow Panorama, a work by Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, from which visitors enjoy a spectacular, color-filtered 360-degree view over the entire city.

Denmark's oldest open-air museum gathers over 75 historic buildings from across the country, rebuilt true to their originals — a living time-travel experience through Danish urban life from the 16th to the 20th century, with craftspeople in period costume and reconstructed workshops, shops and homes.

The Latin Quarter around Aarhus Cathedral is the historic heart of the city, with narrow cobblestone lanes, colorful half-timbered houses, cozy cafes and independent boutiques — ideal for strolling between medieval architecture and modern Danish design culture.
