The Latin Quarter

At the opposite end of town, beyond the Cathedral, lies the ‘Latin Quarter’ – Århus’ oldest quarter.

The streets have historical names such as Klostergade (Convent St), Volden (The Rampart) and Borggade (Castle St) – and in the centre of the quarter lies the Pustervig Torv square as a small and cosy oasis, perfect for a break.

The shopping trip of the day will include ceramics, jewellery, glassware and organic clothing – all ”made in Århus”.

The Barberen is a real old fashioned gentlemen's hairdresser where they shave the face and trim the back of the neck while the customer enjoys a cognac and a good cigar.

When it is time to rest your feet and to get a cup of coffee, the Latin Quarter has a range of cosy cafes. Round of the day by dining in one of the city's many exciting restaurants. 

Vadestedet

Take a bunch of cafés, add some night clubs, one river, a lot of people, and mix. Sprinkle the mixture with a great ambience, and voilá: you get the ‘Vadestedet’.
