In the southern part of Århus you can stroll along the new Marselisborg Marina and take a break at one of the outdoor restaurants while listening to the quiet chuckling of water.

City shopping precincts. In Århus there are more
than 800 shops. 
 
Revivifying oases in the city
The Vadestedet’  (which was where the ford used to be) by the river is one of Århus’ many revivifying oases. Another example is the wooden-ships harbour where old ships, beautifully maintained and freshly painted, are berthed side by side. Right next to this is the old fishing harbour, which retains the smell of fish, and which holds one of the city’s gastronomic temples.
