Arts, museums and attractions
The most popular art venue in Denmark, but they are not very popular with Danish artists as they are underpaid while exhibiting there. One was given a gift card to Aros gift shop as a remuneration...
Still, it is a must visit for any art buff because of the exhibited international artists - who accidentally get paid very well. And if you are only into great views, you will find that too :)

How can a parking spot become an attraction? This one is, for sure. Just park in the advised booth, lock the doors, make the payment, and see your car disappear in the underground... After parking, remember to take a look up, as there is an upside down city of concrete in the roof.

Walks
One of the reasons we chose to move here, was the house's proximity to the city Aarhus, the beaches and the forests - great for walks :)
A beautiful forest for nice walks. If you have brought your dog, please remember that it has to be on the lead (hund i snor), throughout the forest at all times due to wildlife.

Supermarkets and shops
According to an EU-survey, Denmark is the most expensive country in the EU when it comes to groceries. That is true if you only buy full price, but you seldom do. If you plan for shopping wisely, your grocery bag will be slightly under the EU-average. That goes for alcoholic beverages as well.
