Getting Around, Aarhus Travel and Aarhus Transport
(Aarhus, Denmark, DK)




Aarhus Travel and Transport: Aerial view of the cityscapeIt is simple to reach the city and many visitors choose to fly into the nearby Aarhus Airport in Tirstrup, and then use bus transport or hire cars to travel to their chosen destination. Aarhus is a particularly clean city and its streets are well laid out, meaning that one of the best ways to travel around the actual city centre is simply by foot.

Regular ferry transport travels between Aarhus and the Danish city of Kalundborg around six times each week day, and less at the weekends. This trip is extremely popular with tourists and lasts just over two and a half hours, while further ferries connect Odden in around an hour.




Consider purchasing the city's Aarhus Pass if you are intending to use public transport extensively, since it allows you to travel on the buses completely free of charge for set periods of up to a week, and also offers sizable discounts for museums and other notable attractions.

A number of prominent highways radiate outwards from Aarhus and include the E45 (north to south), and also Route 15 (west). The E45 operates as a useful ring road and arcs around the westerly side of the city, with central Aarhus being linked by roads such as the Ahavevej and the Randersvej. Whilst the city centre is perhaps best explored simply on foot, renting a car is a perfect way to travel to attractions on the outskirts of the city, such as Moesgard. A number of large car parks are scattered around the city centre, with one of the most popular being located beneath the Scandinavia Centre Arhus, a notable conference centre. Street parking is indicated by various parking meters (billetautomats), being charged between the following hours:

  • Monday to Thursday - 08:00 to 18:00
  • Friday - 08:00 to 20:00
