Aarhus, Denmark | A fairytale old town hidden by Nordic people, you can feel like you are in a movie in one day!

Don’t just focus on Copenhagen! Aarhus is the Danes' hidden "happy hometown" - the colorful houses can dance, the art gallery has its own rainbow, and even the vegetable market looks like an art exhibition! --- [3 must-visit places to hit your soul] 🎨 ARoS Art Museum: Go to the top floor "Rainbow Corridor" to take a bird's-eye view of the city, cloudy days instantly turn into cyber light and shadow, and the basement hides the dark "Hell Exhibition". Be careful if you are timid, but it is super shocking! 🏰 Aarhus Old Town: 75 century-old wooden houses "moved" into the city center, blacksmiths forged iron, grandmas baked rye bread, and even the smell of horse manure was restored to the 19th century! 🌊 Port industrial style: Watching the sunset at Aarhus Ø dock, rusty cranes + pink sunset glow, the atmosphere of the Nordic version of "The Voice of China" is full. --- [Hidden tricks to pretend to be a local] 🍔 Eat hot dogs on the street: Look for the DØP red cart, organic sausage + pickled cucumber + chopped onion, covered with Nordic special remoulade sauce, Danes line up until the early morning! 🌳 Forest deer chasing plan: Walk 20 minutes from the city center to Marselisborg Forest. The swing is hidden by the lake. Look at the deer for 5 seconds to unlock the Nordic healing power. 🛍️ Find design at the market: Buy a piece of ugly pottery at the Aarhus market, and the stall owner will give you a piece of licorice candy: "This is the childhood of the Danes!" --- [Avoidance Guide|Blood and Tears Summary] ❗️ All supermarkets are closed on Sundays! Stock up on snacks before going out ❗️ Use Midttrafik APP to buy bus tickets, which is 30% cheaper than swiping a card on the bus ❗️ ARoS Art Museum is open until 10pm on Thursdays, and you can book the whole place to take pictures of rainbows at night --- [A magical place to take pictures for free] 📸 Latin Quarter Rainbow Street: candy-colored houses + cobblestone roads, walk with a cup of coffee and take pictures 📸 Rusty iron bridge at the port: wear black, white and gray and stand in front of the industrial ruins, the cool feeling will instantly kill the circle of friends --- "The happiness of Northern Europe is hidden in the details - even the wind in Aarhus carries the breath of Andersen's fairy tales."
