Walking Around Aarhus, Denmark

---

Friday, September 9, 2011

The Emerald Princess docked in Aarhus, Denmark near at a dock within walking distance of downtown. For this reason we opted to explore the city on our own.

With map in hand, we began our half hour walk from ship to town. Aarhus, like most of the towns we had visited on this cruise, had an extensive, and by appearances anyway, efficient public transportation system. The buses and trains were always arriving at stops for the locals to board. There seemed to be little wait time.

A beautiful canal ran through downtown. Most of the cafes provided outdoor seating areas for their customers. And while it was early in the day, there were customers at many.

The tourist info stated that Aarhus was one of the youngest populated cities in Denmark. And we indeed saw many young people.

We made a large circle on our walk, and arrived back to the ship two hours after we departed. Our time in Aarhus was limited, as the ship sailed at 1:30.
