Timeline
15:30
Start at Hantwerk, a gastrobar in the northern harbour district. Order a glass of wine or a beer brewed in-house by Humleland. The atmosphere is relaxed and perfect for settling in before the walk.
15:55
Walk northeast to Bellevue Beach Park. This is Aarhus’s most popular beach, set in a verdant area past the Riis Skov forest. Find a spot on the sand or the grassy slopes facing the harbor.
16:15
Watch the sunset. At 16:15, the sun sets toward the SW, casting a warm glow over the water and the city skyline. It is a crowded spot, so arrive early to secure a good view.
16:45
Head back to Hantwerk for a late dinner. The gastrobar stays open until 23:00 on weekdays, offering great food to cap off the evening.
