midsection Moesgård and the southern end Fløjstrup - names taken from the former es-
tates of which they were once part.
Landmark features at the northern end are the Marselisborg Palace, Tivoli Friheden
amusement park, Jysk Væddeløbsbane (horse-trotting track) and Atletion (sports com-
plex).
Marselisborg Palace & Park PALACE
(Kongevejen 100; park 8am-9pm Apr-Sep, 9am-4pm Oct-Mar)
Marselisborg Palace is a summer home of the royal family, and when they're not in resid-
ence the public can explore the English-style grounds and rose garden (free admission).
When the blue-bloods are here, watch the changing of the guard at noon from a vantage
point on the road. The palace is reached on bus 19.
Tivoli Friheden AMUSEMENT PARK
( GOOGLE MAP ; www.friheden.dk ; Skovbrynet; adult/child Dkr110/90; mid-Apr-Sep; )
Neither as big nor as fabulous as Copenhagen's major drawcard, Aarhus' Tivoli is still a
fun, wholesome family attraction, full of childhood favourites (dodgem cars and a Ferris
wheel) as well as newer, faster rides. You can buy a multi-ride pass (adult/child Dkr220/
200, including admission) and go hard, or pay for each ride individually. The park is at the
northern edge of Marselisborg woods, reached on bus 16.
Check the website for the park's changing opening hours (as late as 11pm in peak sum-
mer). Friday nights from May to August see popular outdoor concerts from big-name Dan-
ish performers as part of the Fed Fredag ('Fat Friday') program.
