A local’s guide to Aarhus: live music, beautiful parks and Nordic street vibe

With superb food, a buzzing music scene, beaches and beautiful green spaces, Denmark’s second city is perfect for a lively break, says nightclub owner Amira Gluhic

Aarhus has both Michelin-star dining and cheaper options loved by the locals. For the latter, Teater Bodega serves traditional Danish cuisine that is affordable yet great quality. Here you’ll get the best stegt flæsk med persillesovs (fried pork belly with parsley sauce), with a glass of the strong local spirit, snaps. It also serves good vegetarian dishes, if you ask for them, and the place oozes Aarhus history, being more than 100 years old.
