    Stiller's Coffee

    Find Stiller's Coffee in the backyard of the old chocolate factory complex. Order a single origin pour-over and sit with the aroma of roasted beans. It is quiet here, away from the street noise.

  2. 10:30

    Steno Museum

    Walk north to the Steno Museum. Explore the medicinal herb garden and the Foucault's pendulum. The exhibits on medicine and astronomy offer a calm, intellectual pace. Take your time reading the historic artifacts.

    Aarhus University Park

    Stroll north again to Aarhus University Park. Lie back on the rolling hills or sit on the open lawn. It is a celebrated piece of landscape architecture that feels like a forest edge within the city. Watch the students and locals relax.
