Not only was Aarhus one of the happiest cities in the world in 2024, but it also ranked as the fifth most sustainable tourist destination. The striking architecture, a mix of historic and ultra-modern, is one of the many appeals of the city: the Aarhus Cathedral, the Iceberg apartment buildings, the lighthouse, the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, and the Old Town Open Air Museum are all worth a detour. When you’re done wandering the city streets, you can either take a swim in the pools of the public Harbour Bath, book a Green Kayak and paddle around the Bay of Arrhus for free (with the condition that you collect trash during your outing), or you can take a quick walk in the surrounding woodlands and experience another architectural masterpiece: the very meditative Infinite Bridge.
