Why Latin Quarter, Aarhus matters

The Latin Quarter is the oldest part of Aarhus and the best place to just wander. Cobbled lanes, colourful old houses, independent shops, record stores and little cafés fill the streets around the cathedral. It is the city's creative heart and especially lively in the evenings. Sit down for a coffee and a pastry, then drift toward the river.

Talking points
