Århus? Never heard of it. But it is actually the second largest city in small Denmark. 307.119 inhabitants live in the municipality of Århus according the latest statistics of 2o1o.
For us who grew up in the Århus we find the town a little boring and wish it offered more cultural possibilites. Therefore I have collected a few local tips for enjoying town.
Best place for people-watching:
At the Baresso corner right in the middle of all the buzz at the railwaystation, at Park Allé.

Eating tapas in Århus.
CANblau Tapas Bar. Here follows the Danish review: Idéen bag tapasbaren er at servere små, enkle retter – som kan deles, hvis man vil. I Spanien deler man nemlig glæden ved ukompliceret mad. På den måde får man flest mulige smagsindtryk og flest mulige fælles oplevelser.
Hos CANblau kan du vælge mellem 21 smagsfulde tapas fra kr. 18 til kr. 118 per styk. eller lade dig inspirere af chefkok Jimmy Holms signature tapas, hvor kreativiteten og legen giver en sublim oplevelse. Jimmy Holm er nemlig mere end almindelig kendt i Spanien efter blandt andet flere års ophold hos verdens mest kendte restaurant El Bulli.
Ud over god mad også vil blive muligt at få sig et spil bordfodbold på bordet, hvor spillerne vil være iført henholdsvis Barcelonas og Real Madrids spilletøj.
Adresse: Klosterport 2, 8000 Århus C.
Wall art in Skanderborg.
About 20 km's from Århus lies the small sleepy town Skanderborg. Skanderborg becomes famous every year in august, where the huge "forest party" (Skanderborg Festival) takes place.
The Danish writer Ole Lund Kirkegaard also grew up in this town. He is know for his childrens books such as "Orla frøsnapper, Gummi Tarzan, Otto er et næsehorn" etc. Most Danes can properly remember these titles from their childhood.
Around in Skanderborg walls and statues light up the town with caracters from his stories.
Danish Bakeries.
These green and cutes cakes are called "Kaj kager". The cake is inspired by another character called Kaj, who a frog from a childrens tv-show from the 1970's.
