Historical Aarhus on Foot
  • Sustainable Experience

on foot

Embark on a journey through time as you explore the rich heritage and history of Aarhus during this guided walk through the city. Discover the hidden gems and landmarks that have shaped Aarhus's past and present.

Walking with your guide from the pier, your first stop is the Aarhus Cathedral, a stunning example of Danish red brick architecture dating from the 12th century. Take a step inside and admire the impressive frescoes and the 16th-century altar carved by the Lübeck master Bernt Notke.

Next, you will take a stroll through the charming Latin Quarter, the city's oldest district. You will have the opportunity to see 18th century merchant houses and courtyards that were part dwelling and part warehouse. Following this, make a visit to the Viking Museum, for a chance to see a model of Aarhus as it appeared in the 10th century and get a glimpse into the life of the Vikings.

Lastly, you will visit a hidden gem, the Church of Our Lady, where you will have the opportunity to explore the crypt. Built in the 12th century, this church has a rich history and beautiful architecture.

Following your guided walk, you will return to the pier.
