Guidebook for Aarhus
Food Scene
Cheap but very good = Save $$$! Moules frites, fish and chips, etc. The main course of the day is ALWAYS excellent (normally 70 DKK). Long lines means coming early and waiting (but it's worth it).

Quality grease!
Get the Le Coq Dog for a different kind of hot dog! Or try a sandwich, the 'steak' one is really good, and they'll cut it in half for two people, if you just need a smaller bite.

Cosy area. Cafes and small shops. Close to train station. And shopping center 'Bruuns Galleri', which is boring, but practical if you need cheap goods from the supermarket, or a restroom.

Biocity cinema! Google Maps can't find it, for some reason, but it is there. If you need a large, but nice cinema, this is the one (more cosy than Cinemaxx above the train station).

Drinks & Nightlife
beachvolley, icecream, water, fun. It's a huge open area, and you don't have to buy anything to get access, so you can bring you own stuff (but ask the staff what parts are reserved for customers).

Hands down THE BEST place to bring small kids! Mainly because everyone else do, so nobody minds your kid screaming or running about… Sounds awful, but it really isn't - maybe because of the cake! :)

Pricey… But a lot of fun, for many different ages. Esepcially nice when then weather is warm and sunny, since it's in the middle of the forrest. Also many rides for really small kids, under 2 years.

Nice park, feed ducks. If you go to the northern end (the top), there's a small playground. Try the xylophone. And walk a couple minutes north, across Vennelyst Boulevard, to see the university park.
