Aarhus

Aarhus (sometimes spelled Århus), Denmark's second-largest city, calls itself the "World's Smallest Big City." I'd argue it's more like the world's biggest little town: easy to handle and easy to like. Aarhus is Jutland's capital and cultural hub, bustling with an important university, inviting café-lined canal, bursting-with-life pedestrian zone, collection of top-notch museums, and adorable "Latin Quarter" filled with people living very, very well. A pleasant three-hour train ride from Copenhagen, Aarhus is well worth a stop.
