And one of Denmark’s best shopping towns is Århus defined by AbbreviationFinder. Not least you will find Bazar West here, a world of tastes and experiences.

You can buy souvenirs in the Old City, i.e. the open-air museum in Aarhus. Here, the many museums have good quality ceramics and other local crafts.

The main shopping street in Aarhus is exactly the same as with big brother Copenhagen, Strøget. The street in Århus is a 900 meter long street with about 150 shops on each side. The street goes from Bruun’s Gallery right by the railway station to Store Torv at Aarhus Cathedral. Remember to cross the pedestrian streets Fredriksgade and Sct. Clemens Strait. If you visit Aarhus in the winter, know that there is heat in the street, so it is dry all year.

Vestergade is the name of one of the most beautiful streets in Aarhus. The shops here sell everything from “technological dipping things” to sports equipment. Don’t forget to take a detour down Grønnegade and see Møllestien for a great walk among the old beautiful houses.

The Latin Quarter is the name of the oldest area in Aarhus. The mind goes to Southern Europe when you see all the cozy cafes and cobbled streets. The Latin Quarter is known for its many specialty shops. Here you go shopping for clothes and crafts. Maybe you make the big find right here?

The Fredriksbjerk district consists of the streets MP Bruunsgade, Jægergårdsgade and Fredriks Allé and is popularly called “the pantry of Aarhus”. The reason, of course, is the many specialty stores that sell food, fruits, vegetables and beverages. If you get tired of shopping then this is also the place to stop for a proper Danish lunch at one of the many inns.

Aarhus is de facto one of the most sought after places for Denmark’s best restaurateurs and the city can, for example, offer Ferdinand Hotel and Brasserie which in 2009 was named Brasserie of the Year in Denmark.

Danish cuisine is known for being innovative and many of the better restaurants in Aarhus have an experimental menu. Wild herbs and plants are sourced directly from nature and combined with excellent meat and fish products. Taken together, it gives a wonderful new taste for us happy food. Århus is much more than red sausages, large portions of minced beef and other things we Norwegians associate with Denmark. Here you can just as well taste musk oxen from Greenland and “the world’s best” oysters from the Limfjord. And Aarhus is more than gourmet food. It can be just as nice to pop into one of the many cafes or taverns for a delicious sandwich, perfect for a lunch or late breakfast.
