Arrive at Aarhus University Park before the golden hour begins. This celebrated landscape of rolling hills offers a quiet, green starting point away from the city center noise. The park is open year round, so you can arrive early to find a good spot.
19:30
Walk from the University Park to the Aarhus Botanical Gardens. The 44-minute walk from the anchor puts you in a serene outdoor setting perfect for watching the sky change. Founded in 1873, this former research garden is now a pleasant public space where the early light hits the trees and paths beautifully.
19:50
Head to DavidBreadHead for breakfast. This high-end sourdough bakery and café opens every day, making it the ideal spot to grab a warm sourdough bun with cheese or a morning board as the golden light fades into the day. It is located a short 14-minute walk from the botanical gardens area.
Local tip
The golden light on 15 April starts around 19:35 and lasts until sunset at 20:25. Arriving early at the park allows you to secure a spot without the crowds that gather later.
