City info

Aarhus is a city of growth. With a population of more than 300,000, Aarhus is Denmark's second largest city. It is at heart, however, also Denmark’s youngest city when you consider the average age of its habitants which is far lower than anywhere else in the country. At the University of Aarhus alone there are nearly 35,000 students, and there is a total of 25 educational and research institutions in the city. This gives the city a young and exciting vibrancy of its very own.

But Aarhus is also a city with clearly visible roots, founded, as it was, by the Vikings in the 8th century. The Vikings settled by the mouth of the river – at the very spot where the Cathedral today rises into the sky with its tower soaring to more than 90 metres in height.
