Aarhus Øje - Attraction at Aarhus Lighthouse

Aarhus Øje is an attraction in Aarhus and an experiential destination that invites you on a unique journey through the layers of time, from the top floor on the 44th storey down to the bottom, where you can experience a fascinating exhibition about Aarhus, the bay and the local wildlife.

Aarhus Øje – an exhibition about the City & the Bay

At Aarhus Øje, you can see a fascinating exhibition about Aarhus, the bay and the local wildlife. Here you can delve into Aarhus’ history, from the shaping of the landscape during the last ice age to the city’s role as an important trading centre in the Viking Age and right up to the present day. The interactive exhibition invites you to explore how nature and people have shaped the city over time.

The exhibition combines physical scenography, digital elements and authentic artefacts. Look through the underwater telescope and see if one of the bay’s fish swims past. Crawl through one of the old sewer pipes leading out to the bay and see where you end up. Take a seat and enjoy a film introducing the bay and the city’s development from the Viking Age to the present day.

Get a view from 142 metres up

Combine your visit with a view from the top floor. Step into the high-speed lift and feel the rush as you reach the top, 142 metres above ground, in under 30 seconds.

The highlight of Aarhus Øje is, of course, the breathtaking view from the 44th floor. From this spectacular vantage point, you’ll experience a panoramic view of Aarhus Bay, the city skyline and the surrounding landscape.

The Lighthouse skyscraper

The Lighthouse, Denmark’s tallest building, is one of Aarhus’s iconic masterpieces. It rises majestically on Aarhus Ø and welcomes everyone to the city from the waterfront.
