Our last stop on this cruise, Aarhus is the second largest city in Denmark. We had considered taking a day trip to nearby Legoland, but opted instead for a nice quiet day wandering around.
The water was very smooth as we sailed into this small port, which was lined with both very modern apartments, and a very grotty working port.
The shop berthed just across the small harbour from town, around a 15 minute walk away. This gave a great view of the city. There is a giant globe there for ClimatePlanet2017.
Aarhus also has a very nice blend of old and new, with very modern buildings alongside older districts. A central canal runs through the middle, with cafes and restaurants lining the canal.
We sat by the canal and had a nice brunch to keep us going for the day.
This is the oldest street in the city, very quiet before all the visitors arrived!
There was some kind of world festival on, with many markets selling food from different countries, and a midnight shopping festival where shops would be open till midnight and had many specials and discounts on offer. So the city was very busy and vibrant today. We generally just wandered around, taking it all in, and seeing stuff on offer we wouldn't usually see at home.
We also walked up to see ARoS, the museum, which has a rainbow coloured walkway around the top. We didn't go inside but could see people up there.
We walked quite a distance here, criss-crossing up and down and seeing a good part of the inner city. A nice relaxing way to end our holiday.

I would love to see inside those little terrace-type homes. Each one is personalised in a different way on the outside. Mine is the terracotta coloured one :)
Love your photos Mike
