My husband is Danish so we go often to Denmark. I've visited almost 95% of the country but Aarhus is different than any other place there. Is middle size town with a lot of culture and good shopping areas. The people are nice and they lough a lot when they figure out that you don't speak Danish. The price are quite high but this is the Danish standart. I stayed in Can Inn - a big hotel in the downtown. The prices are ok but the room are really small. The food in Aarhus is very good - as any other place around Denmark. The alcohol has a high price but the beer is so cheap because Denmark is one of the biggest producer of beer in the whole world!
