Aarhus, Denmark's second-largest city, offers a unique blend of modern and historical attractions. The best time to visit largely depends on your preferences. Summer, from June to August, boasts warm weather perfect for exploring the city's many outdoor spaces and enjoying the long daylight hours. However, this is also peak tourist season.
Low Season in Aarhus
For a quieter experience with lower prices, consider visiting during the low season, from October to April. Despite the cooler temperatures (averaging between 0°C and 8°C), you can still enjoy Aarhus' rich cultural scene, including indoor museums and cosy cafes. A highlight during this season is visiting the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, home to stunning contemporary art exhibitions, while experiencing the city's unique 'hygge' atmosphere.
High Season in Aarhus
If you prefer warmer weather and vibrant city life, the high season (June to August) is ideal, with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 23°C. A must-see during this time is Den Gamle By, an open-air museum showcasing historical Danish houses and culture. Enjoy the longer daylight hours and the buzz of summer events.
