Århus & Around Sights

  1. Botanisk Have

    Ye-olde attraction Den Gamle By (the Old Town) is surrounded by the Botanisk Have, or Botanical Gardens, with its greenhouses and re-created Jutland environments. The garden can be reached through an exit from Den Gamle By or directly from Vesterbrogade.

  2. Dyrehaven

    About 1.5km southeast of the Marselisborg Palace & Park is Dyrehaven - Deer Park - which, as the name suggests, has an abundance of deer (along with wild boar). The wooded park makes for a relaxing stroll on a sunny day.

  3. Marselisborg

    A green belt begins 2km south of the city centre and runs nearly 10km south - a great place for hiking and cycling. It's divided into three sections, with the northern end known as Marselisborg, the midsection Moesgård and the southern end Fløjstrup - names taken from the former estates that they were once part of.

  4. Moesgård

    Visit Moesgård, 10km south of the city centre, for its glorious beech woods and the trails that lead through them to sandy beaches, and for the well-presented history exhibits at the Moesgård Museum of Prehistory. There's an enjoyable walking trail, dubbed the 'Prehistoric Trackway' or Oldtidsstien, leading from behind the museum across fields of wildflowers, past grazing sheep and through beech woods down to Moesgård Strand, one of Århus' best sandy beaches.
