'''Arhus''', (pronounced: Oar-Hoos) is the main city on the Jutland peninsula in Denmark. With a population of just over 300,000 people (1,200,000 East Jutland metropolitan area) it also holds the title of Denmark's second largest city.

Understand

Arhus offers an elegant mix of cosmopolitan city and quaint small town charm, with wonderful pubs, restaurants and romantic places. The average age of its inhabitants is among the lowest in Europe. This is mainly because of the large student population.

The tourist office is located just to the left of the main train station. It's called "Visit Aarhus" [http://www.visitaarhus.com/].

Some interesting facts:

  • There are many plans of highrises in Arhus, including the future tallest building in Denmark (Lighthouse -142 meters).
  • Arhus is part of the East Jutland Metropolitan area, which has the by far fastest growing population in Denmark.
  • Arhus has a big, well known cultural festival week, called "Arhus Festuge" (Aarhus Festival) [http://www.aarhusfestuge.dk/aarhusfestuge/festuge.nsf/links/English].
  • Arhus has for many years been known as a nesting box for Danish musicians and bands, primarily in main stream pop and rock music.
  • Arhus is known as ''The City of Smiles'' (da. ''Smilets By''). It probably just started as a slogan to improve the city's image, but it has nevertheless caught on, and has for many years been a common nickname for the city.
  • Arhus is also known as ''The City of Cafes'' - visit the city and you will soon know why.
  • Talk

    The Danes are reserved towards strangers, but friendly towards tourists, and will normally be happy to give you directions and advice in fluent English.
