Bus Hire in Aarhus, Denmark

Aarhus is Denmark's second-largest city and the commercial and cultural capital of Jutland. It sits on the eastern coast of the Jutland Peninsula at the mouth of the Aarhus River, approximately 300 kilometres west of Copenhagen. The city has a large student population -- Aarhus University is one of the largest in Scandinavia with around 40,000 enrolled students -- as well as a strong corporate and professional services sector. Aarhus Airport (AAR, also known as Tirstrup) is 44 kilometres north-east via Route 15, approximately 40 to 50 minutes by coach.

Aarhus held the title of European Capital of Culture in 2017, which accelerated significant investment in the arts and cultural infrastructure. The ARoS Art Museum (its distinctive Rainbow Panorama rooftop walkway is one of Denmark's most photographed structures), Den Gamle By open-air museum, the Aarhus Street Food market, and the Latin Quarter of medieval streets around the cathedral are the principal group visit destinations.

Aarhus Airport (AAR) and City Transfers

Aarhus Airport (Tirstrup, IATA: AAR) is 44 kilometres north-east of the city centre via Route 15 and the coastal approach, approximately 40 to 50 minutes by coach. The airport serves direct routes to Copenhagen, Oslo, Amsterdam, and a limited selection of European cities. Coach drop-off and pick-up is at the terminal forecourt.

ARoS, Den Gamle By, and the Cultural Quarter

ARoS Aarhus Art Museum (Aros Alle 2, 800 metres west of the railway station) is the largest art museum in Denmark outside Copenhagen. Its signature feature is the Your Rainbow Panorama rooftop walkway -- a 150-metre circular glass corridor in the spectrum of colours by artist Olafur Eliasson. Coach drop-off is on Aros Alle; parking on Vester Alle or the Kalkvaerket car park nearby. Den Gamle By (The Old Town, Viborgvej 2, 1.5 kilometres west of the city centre) is a living, open-air urban history museum with 75 historic buildings relocated from across Denmark. It is one of the most visited museums in the country. Coach parking is in the Botanisk Have car park directly adjacent to the museum entrance.

Aarhus University, Scandinavian Centre, and Corporate Events

Aarhus University (Universitetsparken 1, 2 kilometres north of the city centre) is among the top research universities in Scandinavia and a major destination for academic conferences, graduation events, and staff shuttle services. The Scandinavian Congress Centre (Margrethepladsen 1, adjacent to the central railway station) is Aarhus's primary convention venue with capacity for 3,500 delegates. The Aarhus Harbour, redeveloped since 2010 as a mixed residential and cultural district (Godsbanen, Aarhus Street Food), is a growing destination for corporate hospitality and evening events.
