CITY DISCOUNTS
If you're planning to tick off city sights, the
AarhusCard
is a worthwhile investment. The
bus station and most accommodation providers sell the pass (adult/child 24-hour pass
Dkr129/69, 48-hour pass Dkr179/79), which allows unlimited transport on local buses as
well as free or discounted admission to most sights.
In a city full of students, an ISIC or ID card from your home university is an asset. If you
have one, flaunt it. From pubs to restaurants to museums, students are given favourable
prices.
Activities
The easiest, most enjoyable way to experience the great outdoors surrounding Aarhus is on
foot or by bike, and the best hiking and cycling is along the green belt south of the city.
If the weather's good, popular family-friendly beaches lie on the town's outskirts and
feature clean, calm (but often cool) waters. The best-loved spots to the north are the tradi-
tional seabaths known as
Den Permanente
, in Risskov not far from the hostel.
Bellevue
,
further north of Den Permanente (about 4km north of the city centre), is also popular;
buses 17 and 20 will get you there.
Otherwise head south to
Moesgård Strand
about 7km from the centre on bus 31. Den
Permanente tends to draw a younger crowd; families head to Moesgård.
