Best restaurants in Aarhus
Emmery's
Guldsmedgade 24-26, Århus, Denmark 8000 C · 86-13-04-00
The sophistication of the diners at Emmery's is overshadowed only by the elegance of this upper scale establishment. Lunch is more casual than brunch and dinner, but the food is delightful no matter what time you eat it. The dinner, however, offers the best of fine dining. Among the selection of enticing pastries is a chocolate bag filled with a blackberry-flavored mousse. Wine and appetizers at the bar are a wonderful way to sustain a late night appetite. Business dressy attire.

User Rating: 8.6 / 10
The Café Under Masken is a very well known and liked café in the area, especially with the artists of Århus. The walls inside are adorned with some original artwork of Han Krull, a well-known Denmark artist and partial owner of the café. He also visits the café on Sundays to do sketches of the customers there. You have to keep your eyes open for this one because the entrance is a few steps below the sidewalk.
Café Viggo
Aboulevarden 52, Århus, Denmark 8000 C · 86-19-72-22
The dark wooden bar helps to create an air of sophistication and history around this café. Café Viggo is always crowded, with tourists and locals alike.

General Rye Bar and Bodega
16 Ryesdgate, Århus, Denmark 8000 C · 86-13-18-48

Thus far, this restaurant remains undiscovered by many tourists, so you will dine mostly amidst locals at this French jewel. No reservations.

At The Royal Oak Café, you can enjoy appetizers, pasta, and great beer while sitting either inside or outside.

Vikings are still in Aarhus...
Århus The City of Vikings
"Museums Kopi SmykkerÅrhus was founded during the Viking Age, and there are still traces of the people who chose to settle by the mouth of the Århus Å river. The original town was situated along the river up to Immervad and in the part of the city where the Cathedral is today. Old street names such as Volden (The Rampart) and Graven (The Moat) mark the limits of the town as it then was.
One of the best places to go to get an impression of the city's original size, location and early development, is the Viking Museum which is housed in the basement of Nordea Bank at Clemens Torv.
When excavating the foundations for this building a large number of artefacts and other traces leading back to the Viking Age were found, and similarly the excavations at the Main Square (Store Torv) have provided us with a great deal of information about the city during the Viking Age.
At the Moesgård Museum you can also encounter the Vikings in the hall with the runic stones, at the Viking exhibition, in the reconstructed wooden church - a replica of one of the first small wooden churches in Denmark dating back to the late Viking Age - and in the reconstructed Viking houses.
You can also meet the Vikings in their everyday-life at the large Viking Moot which is held by the Moesgård Museum at the beach in Moesgård every year during the last weekend of July. This is a get-together for "Vikings" from Denmark, Scandinavia, and the British Isles where they demonstrate their skills with Viking weaponry, riding, craftwork, early "convenience goods", food and much more. It is a colourful and fascinating event where you can walk around and see, smell, taste and purchase the various goods - making you feel that you are back in a different era.
You can also acquire jewellery as worn by the Vikings. The shop Museums Kopi Smykker in the street of Kannikegade, in cooperation with Danish and foreign museums, makes exact replicas of ancient and Viking jewellery made from bronze, silver and gold."

About Aarhus University
University of Aarhus
Aarhus Universitet del af kulturkanonUNIVERSITY OF AARHUS, Århus 1931 ?
Kay Fisker, C F Møller, P Stegmann, C Th Sørensen
Erected in the 1930s, the University of Aarhus hints at brighter times for Århus and Denmark. The architecture is modern, and immediately anti-monumental, as an organic interpretation of the open campus in the centre of the city. It also provides distinctive and solid evidence of how a major structure in an urban context can develop with beauty and with soul over a period of more than 70 years.
The university buildings are set around a valley, rhythmically positioned, correctly distanced, in perfect harmony with the landscape, and such that the valley itself remains virginal. All wings are built in one material only ? yellow bricks for the facings, roofs and paving ? which makes the building structures stand out as uniform, simplistic and prismatic with clean saddle roofs without overhang. At the top, the main building with the main hall screens off the area from the Ringgaden circular road, boasting a more expressive idiom in contrast to the matter-of-fact character of the individual faculty buildings.
The University of Aarhus is a tribute to tile as a building material. The brick tiles knit the buildings closely together in harmony with the surrounding landscape, creating a subdued monumentality with a regional Danish character, most clearly evidenced by the Main Hall building with its gable end throning over the valley. Here, amphitheatrical terracing draws the landscape together, in contrast to the Main Hall?s brick-tiled yard enclosure from where the unifying thought of the entire university reveals itself. This unique integration of the landscape and the buildings is strengthened further by the characterful clumps of oak trees in the park, accentuating the topography and enhancing the landscape. In the fullness of time a grand landscape, almost pastoral in appearance, has emerged ? both classical and regional at the same time.

The brick tiles knit the buildings closely together in harmony with the surrounding landscape, creating a subdued monumentality with a regional Danish character, most clearly evidenced by the Main Hall building with its gable end throning over the valley. Here, amphitheatrical terracing draws the landscape together, in contrast to the Main Hall?s brick-tiled yard enclosure from where the unifying thought of the entire university reveals itself. This unique integration of the landscape and the buildings is strengthened further by the characterful clumps of oak trees in the park, accentuating the topography and enhancing the landscape. In the fullness of time a grand landscape, almost pastoral in appearance, has emerged ? both classical and regional at the same time.

At ARoS museum
The new art museum in Århus opens in April 2004 ? it will be one of the largest museums in Northern Europe. In the downstairs area visitors can enjoy the major special exhibitions, with the ?nine rooms? presenting international installation art. The large halls on the upper floors house the museum?s own collections of art from the 19th century up to the present day. The restaurant is at the top, and from the roof there is a commanding view of the city and the bay. At the museum street level there is a café and a shop where admission is free (from).
Picking up speed
The port has its own towage, pilot and mooring service which is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The land areas and warehouses at the harbour are leased to port-related companies on short-term or long-term leases. The port is well-equipped with cranes for all purposes which are operated by the Port of Aarhus’s own crane operators who are hired out at an hourly rate (source).
