Denmark's second-largest city, Aarhus is known for its boundary-pushing modern architecture and rich history. But more interestingly than that, it brings together the young and old in a way unlike any other city. You may find yourself swaying to the beat at an electro-music rave one day and perusing centuries-old art at a world-class museum the next. Prices for hiring a car in Aarhus start from just €26 per day for an economy vehicle such as a Opel Corsa or similar. Premium cars (like an Audi A4 Avant) cost around €107 per day. You can book your Aarhus car hire in advance with Enjoy Travel for a seamless trip.
Guide to Aarhus

Climate
Aarhus experiences a temperate oceanic climate that is characterised by extreme weather throughout the different seasons. The best time to visit would be in May or June when spring brings forth pleasant temperatures hovering around 73.4℉.
Culture in Aarhus
Aarhus is a treasure trove of cultural offerings, from museums to theatres to festivals and centuries-old traditions. It is also known as the City of Smiles (Smilets in Danish).
Things to do in Aarhus
Immerse yourself in history
The Den Gamle By is a large, labyrinthine open-air museum with 75 historic buildings that carefully preserve Danish social history from the 18th century onwards. If you’ve ever wondered what Hans Christian Andersen - one of Denmark’s most celebrated authors, poets and playwrights – saw outside his window while writing classics like “The Ugly Duckling” and “Princess and the Pea,” this is your chance. Do make sure to sample hindbærsnitte (a type of pastry) made with unchanged recipes from the 19th century.
Stroll through a royal park
The Marselisborg Palace is an exquisitely landscaped English-style park that will transport you from Aarhus to the pastoral, charming English countryside. While there, take a stroll through gorgeous cherry groves and visit a memorial park to pay respect to the 4,144 Danish soldiers who lost their lives in the First World War. When visiting, inquire if the queen is in residence as this may affect how much of the park you will be allowed to see on that day.
Eating out in Aarhus
There’s no better way to get acquainted with Danish cuisine than to find a charming café in the Latin Quarter and order a smørrebrød, a quintessentially Danish open-faced rye sandwich with a variety of meat and cheese toppings and garnishes. While at ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, you can’t miss stopping by their Food Hall on the 9th floor. While the carcasses of hanging cows and pigs may initially be a bit off-putting, they actually pride themselves on their “honest dishes” that highlight the authentic taste of fresh meat sourced from ethically treated animals.
Aarhus Transport
Airport
Fly into Aarhus Airport (AAR) and take an airport shuttle bus (every 20 minutes; DKK 100; 50 minutes) to the city centre.
Getting around
Aarhus has a great public transit system that comprises buses, trams, and bicycles for rent. Use the free Rejseplanen app to find departures and pay using the Midt Trafik app. If you’re only staying for a few days, we recommend picking up an Aarhus Card, which includes free transportation all over town as well as free admission to over 25 museums. Ride-hailing services, like Uber, are banned in Aarhus, so many tourists opt to hire a car to give themselves greater flexibility and comfort. Some of the most reliable car hire agencies in Aarhus include Europcar, Sixt and Hertz.
