Aarhus in Denmark .. a European city that you should visit

Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - The Danish city of Aarhus is the European Capital of Culture for the year 2017, and perhaps this will be a sufficient reason to visit it this year, thanks to the tourist places and important events it includes.

An ancient city dating back to at least the 14th century, it has benefited from the restoration of its cobbled streets and old buildings, and hosts many major events and festivals that will introduce visitors to masterpieces of modern art and pure European culture.

Aarhus is located on the Jutland Peninsula in Denmark and is its main city, with a population of more than 300 thousand people, and in the Eastern Jutland region more than a million people, which makes it bear the title of the second largest city in Denmark.

Aarhus offers an elegant mix between a cosmopolitan city and a charming small town, with many fun and wonderful life places, cafes, restaurants and romantic places, and there are many plans for the construction of skyscrapers in Aarhus, including the tallest building in Denmark with a height of 142 meters.

Aarhus is famous for its great cultural festival known as "Aarhus Festog" or Aarhus Week, and for many years the city has been a breeding ground for Danish musicians and bands, especially in pop and rock music.

European architecture is also one of the points of interest in the city, among which is the building of the "Musikhuset" concert hall, which dates back to 1982 and is located next to the new AROS Art Museum, not to mention a number of other buildings.
