The Aarhus City Guides answer the questions every visitor has: where to eat smørrebrød at lunch and which bakery is worth the queue, which museums earn their ticket, how to reach the beaches and forests by bus and where the Latin Quarter goes after dark. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Mondrups Smørrebrød
Studsgade 5, Latin Quarter
A small lunch counter putting fresh twists on Danish open sandwiches on rye; two or three pieces make a meal. Come early, as it closes in the afternoon. From the food guide.
Aarhus Cathedral
Store Torv
The longest and tallest church in Denmark, free to enter, with 15th-century frescoes, a vast altarpiece by Bernt Notke and model ships hanging inside. From the things to do guide.
Kalø Castle
Kalø Vig, near Rønde, 30 km northeast
The ruins of a 14th-century castle on a small island, reached on foot along a medieval causeway about 500 m long. Quiet woods in winter, sometimes seals on the rocks, and waterproof shoes are a good idea. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Aarhus
Day one: start at Aarhus Cathedral and the Latin Quarter, have smørrebrød for lunch, spend the afternoon at ARoS or The Old Town, then end the evening in the bars of Mejlgade and Skolegade. Day two: take the bus to Moesgaard Museum, walk down to the beach, through Marselisborg Deer Park and out onto The Infinite Bridge, or go further to Silkeborg and its lakes. Rainy or slow day: Dokk1 and the Steno Museum from the family guide, the warm glasshouses of the Botanical Garden from the budget guide and a long lunch from the food guide.
