Welcome to Aarhus, Denmark’s second largest city (also known as “The city of smiles”) and host of Nordic LIBS 2026!
It was founded by the Vikings in the 8th century, and is located in a natural bay along a small river and surrounded by forests.
Aarhus is often referred to as "the youngest and brightest city in Denmark” because of its large student population – almost 1/5 of the residents are students.
Whether you are staying for just a few days or extending your visit, Aarhus offers a rich mix of culture, history, and Nordic charm.
