Aarhus Private Day Tour Itinerary

Your friendly private guide will meet you at your accommodation on the morning of your tour. You’ll travel in a luxury executive vehicle as you travel from site to site throughout the day. Your guide will give you a brief orientation of the day ahead and the city as you make your way to the first attraction on your itinerary.

Den Gamle By

Your private tour will begin at Den Gamle By, one of the world’s first open-air museums of urban life. The museum gives you a uniquely immersive experience of Denmark’s past, featuring recreated streets, homes, and shops from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. You can interact with costumed interpreters dressed from those periods, feeling like you’re talking to townspeople from Denmark’s past. You can step into a 1970’s apartment, a 1920’s jazz bar, and 19th-century workshops. It’s a unique way to step into living history and the perfect way to start your private day tour of Aarhus.

Aarhus Cathedral

Next is Denmark’s longest and one of its oldest cathedrals, the 12th-century Aarhus Cathedral. Admire the Gothic architecture and grand murals, and walk through the ancient cathedral as your guide tells stories of its role in medieval times. You can climb up the cathedral’s tower for panoramic city views.

ARoS Aarhus Art Museum

Your next attraction is a must-visit if you’re in Aarhus! The ARoS Aet Museum is one of the most famous museums in all of Denmark. It’s renowned for its stunning architecture and the “Your Rainbow Panorama,” a circular skywalk where you can see panoramic city views through colored glass. Aside from the circular skywalk, the museum features an impressive collection of contemporary art for you to enjoy.

The Moesgaard Museum

You’ll take a break for lunch and then take the 20-minute drive south to Moesgaard Museum. Trust us when we say this is a world-class archaeological and ethnographic museum! It’s in a turf-roofed building with various Viking artifacts and interactive exhibits. The museum’s highlight is the Graubelle Man, one of the world’s best-preserved bog bodies from the Iron Age. The man is said to have lived over 2,000 years ago, with the bog helping to preserve the body until it was found in 1952.

When you’re finished in the museum, take a walk in the museum grounds where you can see forest and sea views.

Aarhus Ø

Finish the day in Aarhus Ø, the most modern district in the city featuring unique architecture. See the Iceberg (Isbjerget), an award-winning residential complex with glacier-inspired architecture that has become a symbol of the city. You’ll drive through the harbor and then catch a glimpse of Dokk1, the futuristic library. Simply put, it’s a unique area you have to experience to understand the hype!

End of Tour

Your guide can return you to your accommodation, or if you’d rather get off in central Aarhus, just let us know! The evening is then your own to unwind after seeing the best attractions in Aarhus.
