Aarhus
An open-air museum of relocated historic buildings you can wander through like an entire old town, a rainbow-coloured rooftop walkway atop the art museum with views over the whole harbour, and a student population that keeps the city's bars and food scene younger than its size suggests.
The best time to visit Aarhus is Jun–Aug, when typical daytime highs reach about 20°C (69°F). Local time there is 21:52 (UTC+2).
