Yuletide under the stars
… when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true – at least when you are in Århus in the run up to Christmas. The entire city is alive with a vibrant Christmas atmosphere with all sorts of things to do and see for both adults and children. 

Christmas time in Aarhus - the second largest city in Denmark
Christmas holds a special place in the hearts of Danes, especially in the lovely city of Aarhus, East Jutland. Each year the city comes alive with Christmas spirit, and events center on the "living, breathing museum" Den Gamle By (The Old Town). 

It's also time to shop for Christmas presents! Stroll the pedestrianisted high streets of Aarhus, and admire the finest Christmas lighting in Northern Europe, consisting of a sparkling starry sky – 850 metres long and 6 metres wide – with more than half a million pin-points of starlight, as you shop for treats to delight family and friends-high-quality handicrafts, outstanding Danish fashions and home furnishings, food, wine, and seasonal sweets.

For a unique Christmas experience, visit the sprawling Christmas fair in Ridehuset, or one of the smaller markets around town. Need a rest from all the activity? Stop at one of the city's many restaurants and cafes for a glass of warm Christmas punch, a traditional Christmas lunch with beer and snaps.
