Lovely Christmas Towns in The Aarhus Region

Aarhus is the second-largest city in Denmark. A vibrant mix of youthful energy and a blast from the past makes Aarhus a city with an energetic beat of the pulse. In Aarhus, everything is within walking distance. From here, beach, harbor and forest are all within reach of a 15-minute bike ride.

Throughout December, Denmark's cosy old market town Randers is decorated like a Christmas town straight out of a sparkling fairytale. The narrow streets and alleys are beautifully decorated, the Christmas tree on Rådhustorvet square shines brightly, and small Christmas markets and shops invite you in with temptations for both body and mind.

Christmas in the old Danish royal town of Viborg is very special and attracts visitors from both near and far every year. Many consider Viborg to be one of Denmark's most cosy and beautiful Christmas towns. This may be due to the charming and historic town centre, which is perfect for celebrating Christmas. 

Enjoy the Christmas spirit in Silkeborg, Denmark's Outdoor Capital, where city and nature go hand in hand, and where the Christmas spirit can be felt all around the beautiful Lake District Søhøjlandet. Meet Father Christmas, who spreads Christmas magic around the city.

Grenaa and Ebeltoft are the largest towns in Djursland. Ebeltoft has little, charming, winding streets along with fascinating handicraft shops, while Grenaa is a lovely market town with lots of specialty shops and surprises.
