Best places: Things to dos in Arhus, Denmark

Admission is free to this 22-hectare nature preserve & zoo with free-ranging wild boar & deer .

Modernist museum sloping out of the ground & containing exhibits covering humans & their ancestors.

Recreation of a market town from the time of Hans Christian Andersen, including 75 period houses.

👍👍 Simply an amazing place to get an eagles eye view of Mols Bjerge. I would highly recommend going to Trehøje and looking around, maybe even before entering into the rest of Mols Bjerge, which is equally lovely. This is definitely some of the best nature Denmark has to offer.

This botanical garden’s greenhouses are themed to 4 different international climate zones.

Hilly expanse of trails, with beech forests, Bronze Age burial mounds & 14th-century castle ruins.

Grassy lawns & greenhouses with Mediterranean, desert & tropical plants, plus picnic tables.

English-style gardens surrounding a royal palace, with a war memorial, a playground & sea views.

👍👍 Nice place to enjoy the day/evening, whatever. Best place to rest near the sea.

👍👍 Nice that you can drive all the way to the top when several in the company did not go so well. The Ballebjer route (red) is a trip around the "mountain", which gives a good impression of the area, but you have to be strong on your feet to manage the section on the beach and the trip from the beach...

Huge art museum for 18th-century to contemporary Danish art, plus circular, panoramic roof walkway.

Restored wooden warship from 1860, powered by both sail & steam, with exhibitions & kids' events.

Royal castle dating from 1313, on coastal peninsula, with ruins to explore, views and nature walks.

Summer residence for royals with English-style gardens, sprawling lawns & lakes, plus art works.

👍 Nice small park with calm scenery, however the paths could be organised in a bit more convenient way.

Gothic church dating from the 12th century dedicated to Saint Clement, with fresco-covered arches.

👍👍 En lille oase i storbyen. Gamle, smukke, mærkelige, frænnede træer. Små stier med overraskelser lige om hjørnet.
