Århus is a very beautiful, pleasant (student) city! After visiting the Gamle by we enjoyed a walk through the city and had a delicious lunch with smørenrød along the åboulevarden! Recommended!!!

We have done a few of these and found them a bit underwhelming. This one was great, interesting info and took us on a good little walk around the city.
