Motorways

Aarhus has direct connections to the great European network of motorways, making it easy to get to most European cities. Hamburg can be reached within roughly four hours. There are also excellent roads to most places in Denmark.

Buses

Midttrafik runs the city’s yellow buses. These are numbered on the front and back. A map of bus routes and a brochure in English can be obtained from from Midttrafik’s offices.

Country bus stops are marked by a blue sign with a white bus.

Cycling

Denmark is an ideal country for cycling. There are not many (very) steep hills and there are many safe cycling paths in the country. Urban conditions for cyclists are constantly being improved. Look out for the special cyclists’ routes ( cykelruter ) and cycle paths ( cykelstier) .

Every month, the police hold an auction on the first Wednesday of the month at: Nellemann & Thomsen, Skanderborgvej 104–106 at 12.00 noon, where unclaimed, abandoned, or stolen cycles are sold. Sales conditions are price plus 46.25% in auction fee.
