Aarhus (oar-hus) is a university town situated within Denmark's overlooked western province, Jutland. The city has long laboured under the shadow of the capital Copenhagen, but change is on the way. Denmark's second-largest city is busy staking a claim for visitor attention and establishing a reputation as a growing European destination for clever city-breakers, festival-goers, art and culinary aficionados, and anyone looking beyond the capital-city conga.
