Copenhagen is fun, but don’t forget aarhus!

A travel trend that we welcome very much is too look further than only a countries capitols. Beside these A-cities there are so many cool B-cities. In Germany there’s Hamburg next to Berlin and in France there’s Bordeaux as a little Paris. When it comes to Denmark you can add Aarhus to this list! Did you know that rising star Aarhus is one of the cultural capitols in 2017 in Europe? We went ahead to check this city out for you and made an extensive travel guide for you!
