Århus, located on Jutland’s eastern coast along its eponymous bay, is Denmark’s second-largest city. One of the country’s oldest cities, with roots dating back to an 8th-century Viking settlement, Århus became a center for trade and prospered during the Middle Ages. Today, it is an eclectic mix of past and present. A bustling port and center for commerce and industry with a modern skyline, it still retains its old-world charms in Den Gamle By, or Old Town, a repository of medieval landmarks, including centuries-old timbered houses and the 13th-century Århus Cathedral.
