We strongly recommend that you spend an extra day or two in Aarhus when you are here anyway. There are lots of things to do and see.
Our favorites include:
ARoS with Olafur Eliasson's Rainbow Panorama on top is definitely worth a visit if you take an interest in art. The museum's permanent exhibitions display art from the 19th century to the present, and there are always interesting current exhibitions. We offer a free voucher for ARoS - you can order it when registrering for the NorPEN 2019 meeting or the pre-course.
Why not spend some time exploring the museum where the NorPEN 2019 meeting is held? In the museum's prehistory exhibition, you can meet the Grauballe man - the world's best preserved bog man from the Iron Age - and learn more about people from the Stone, the Iron, the Bronze and the Viking Ages in a modern, interactive way. Perhaps you can fit in a visit after the meeting ends on Friday afternoon. Please notice that entrance is not included with the meeting registration fee.
Get a fantastic view of the city from the rooftop at the Salling department store. It is free - except for the hot chocolate you may buy to keep you warm.
Aarhus is a great place for shopping and has a wide variety of shops from department stores and fashion chains to unique little shops in the old Latin Quarter.
Take advantage of the beautiful surroundings and go for a stroll or a run along the waterfront, in the parks or in the nearby forests, e.g., the Marselisborg forest surrounding the Queen's summer castle, Marselisborg.
