About Aarhus
Aarhus has the atmosphere of a college town and a quirky, bohemian spirit. The revitalized waterfront houses artist studios and a restaurant scene where you can sample New Nordic cuisine. Nearby, the medieval inner city has the oldest buildings in the area with low, dense housing and narrow, curved streets. Throughout the city's mellow neighborhoods and downtown, you'll find English-speaking locals gliding by on bikes on their way to campus or work.
