Århus & Around Getting there & around

Getting around

Bus & tram

Bus

Most in-town buses stop in front of the train station or around the corner on Park Allé. City bus tickets are bought from a machine in the back of the bus for Dkr17 and are good for unlimited rides within the time period stamped on the ticket, which is about two hours.

You can also buy a 24-hour pass for bus travel in Århus county (adult/child Dkr97/48) or in Århus municipality alone (Dkr55). Or get a one-/two-/seven-day Århus Passet (Dkr97/121/171) that includes both bus travel and entry into Århus museums. You can buy tickets and passes at Århus Sporveje (89 40 10 10; Banegårdspladsen 20; 10am-6pm Mon-Fri, to 1pm Sat), the city transport service shop across from the train station.

Car & motorcycle

A car is convenient for getting to sights such as Moesgårdon on the city outskirts, though the city centre is best explored on foot. There’s paid parking along many streets and in municipal car parks, including one on the southern side of Musikhuset Århus. Fees start at Dkr1 for six minutes and Dkr12 for one hour. Overnight (7pm to 8am) is free.

Local transport

Taxi

Taxis wait outside the station and at Store Torv. Expect to pay around Dkr60 for destinations within the city.

Bicycle

Look out for free Århusbycykel (www.aarhusbycykel.dk) city bikes in the city centre. One is yours for a Dkr20 deposit.
