What to do and see in Aarhus, Jutland: The Best Nature & Parks

September 12, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

Jutland's cultural heart, Århus is an exuberant university town with a perfectly preserved old town and a recreated historic village, Den Gamle By. The top draw is the Moesgard Museum of Prehistory, showcasing exhibits from the Stone Age to Viking days and home to the city's most famous citizen, the 2000-year-old Grauballe Man. It's a lively spot, teeming with cafes, restaurants, clubs and cinemas. Denmark's second-largest city perches on Jutland's eastern coast amid beaches and woodland.

Originally I wanted to see Den Gamle By. It might be a nice place but I had that kind of feeling it was a tourist trap. So I went to the botanical garden instead which turned out to be a great decision. Not only is the entrance to the greenhouse free, there are even lots of beautiful butterflies, fish and even more exotic plants of course. I probably enjoyed this place much more than I would have enjoyed the old town.

This is a place to unwind. I love to go to Egå Engsø with my bike and walk (or bike) around it. The nature is beautiful (- but you do hear the traffic). As I was raised close to nature, this place is one of the current favorites in my new home town. (Some pictures are from the summer..)

Best place in Aarhus :) Remember to bring lots of apples and carrots with you. Deers are calm and beautiful, you can sit with them, feed them, and pet them. Incredible experience!
