Cruises to Aarhus are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the culture and history of Denmark firsthand. The original settlers of the area were the Vikings, who came to the Jutland Peninsula thousands of years ago and established a settlement. The coastal location served Aarhus well, and the city began a period of growth as a port and trading town.
From the 13th century to the 19th century, Aarhus saw periods of growth and decline in waves. The city was frequently conquered by the Swedish and other invaders who envied its strategic location on the Bay of Aarhus. The development of Aarhus Harbor was finished in the 1860s, which revitalized the area. Today, it’s one of Denmark’s most significant hubs, balancing its Viking history with distinct cultural achievements in modern art and design.
