Best time to visit Aarhus

Gold, crimson, and ruby-red leaves adorn the trees in autumn (September - November). An array of colourful dwindling leaves sweep across the streets of Aashur, while the littoral waters get downright cold, as early as September. Temperatures can drop as low as 15 degrees Celsius in winter (December - February). It is less icy than the northern Scandinavian countries, hovering around a mild freezing point. Cold sea air sweeps through the city from the ocean, keeping the frost off the coastal towns. Aarhus, like the rest of Denmark, is very cold and chilly in winter. During spring (March – May), the city sees a vibrant spring life. Bright beautiful days bring lots of sunlight and cloudless skies. Days are filled with cheer and joy across the city. People come out from hibernation, and crowds pull into the city. When the climate is warmest, and the landscape is at its most beautiful, summer (June – August) pulls in a considerable crowd. Tourist facilities and transport services operate in full swing. Summers are seldom stifling, with warm sunny, cloudless days keeping a consistency of 20 through 26 degrees Celsius. Expect the most popular attractions to be crowded.

Aarhus, is always following in the footsteps of its eldest sibling, Copenhagen. Although the city has always been smaller in comparison, allowing for easy travelling across town, by either foot or bicycle – people are joyful and happier.

The city is now in the lime light, with its present venture to be joint with the European Capital of Culture. The harbours have been transformed and renovations done on the Aros Art Museum, which in turn promises to be one of the world’s top 20 museums.

With so many ancient and contemporary architectural designs, new age customs, recently renovated museums and unlimited gastronomic cuisine, the city has more to offer than meets the eye.
