Culture of Arhus. Places to visit - old town, temples, theaters, museums and palaces
The starting point of many sightseeing tours of Aarhus is Den Gamle By - the oldest and most beautiful area of the city. It can be safely called an open-air museum, as more than 70 historic buildings of various periods have been preserved in the Old Town. Almost all the buildings are open to the public. Here you can visit a hat workshop, an antique toy store, a shoemaker's shop, as well as numerous craft shops. Some old buildings are presently occupied by bakeries and pastry shops. There are several regional restaurants in the historic district. One day is hardly enough to explore all the Old Town attractions. Many tourists come here in search of interesting souvenirs. In the pre-Christmas period, a traditional fair opens in the historic district.
