City in Denmark

Aarhus

3 things to see

Aarhus is Denmark’s second city, and it stretches a budget further than Copenhagen while still feeling lively. The harbor area, botanical garden, and street art trails are all free to explore, and the walkable Latin Quarter of independent shops and cafes costs nothing to wander. Combine it with Aalborg for a Jutland loop, and visit outside the brief summer peak for cheaper, quieter stays.
