We spent a morning in Den Gamle (old town outdoor museum) and really enjoyed it.

Hi Rita,

 

We were here a couple of years ago and had a great time walking around the old town. If younend up there, have a quick look in the Bo Bendixen store. Greatest t-shirts and kids tees ever.

 

Have a great trip!

Brief history:

Aarhus is the second-largest city in Denmark. The principal port of Denmark, Aarhus is on the east side of the peninsula of Jutland in the geographical centre of Denmark. Aarhus is the seat of the council of Aarhus municipality with 323,893 inhabitants.

 

The bishopric of Aarhus dates back to at least 948, and archaeological findings date back some 1,300 years to Viking times. The city itself is presumably older than 770 AD, making Aarhus the oldest big city in Scandinavia

 

During the Middle Ages the city was called Arus, and in Icelandic chronicles, it was known as Áróss. It is a compound of the two words ār, genitive of ā ("river") and ōss (mouth). The name originates from the city's location around the mouth of the stream Aarhus River - Å being the Danish word for a small river.

How did you get to the museum? Was there a hop on off bus from port?

[hallasm]

City Center and AROS is 2.5 km and 'Den Gamle By' Open-Air Museum is 3 km from the pier - there is no HoHo in Aarhus.

I recollect taking a shuttle bus from the ship to the main gate then walking.
