Top Denmark How to Get Around in 2026

Most travelers think they’ve seen Aarhus after a quick stroll along the harbor and the old town, but what if I told you the city hides stories, flavors, and corners most visitors never find? Cruise passengers often rush through the main streets, missing the local life that gives Aarhus its true charm. Without a guide, it’s easy to leave with pictures but not real memories. The Walking Tour in Aarhus lets you make the most of your short visit. A local guide will take you to iconic spots and hidden gems, share stories that bring the city to life, and introduce you to flavors and experiences that most travelers never discover. Your guide adapts the tour to your pace and interests, helping you skip tourist traps and truly feel Aarhus. Even in just one day, you’ll leave with authentic memories, local tips, and a connection to the city that lasts long after your cruise.

Experience the best of the city with a local host on this tour, with 5 to 7 km of walking and a 25 minute ride on the public commuter ferry* that the locals use (not a tourist boat ride). Discover top sights, hidden gems, and witness the Changing of the Guards at the royal palace, Amalienborg. We begin with a 1-hour walk before boarding the public electric harbor ferry, (if it´s not full). Your host shares stories, and tips as we glide through the city’s waterways. *If the ferry is full or out of service (this is rare: it mostly happens on weekends and sunny afternoons in peak season), we follow the scenic canal route on foot instead, covering the full itinerary with 2 extra km of walking. After the ferry, we continue on foot to the Little Mermaid and take a short break on a café for a boost of energy before ending the tour at Amalienborg Palace. Note: This walking tour from Go Like a Local requires a steady pace and is not suitable for those with walking difficulties.
