Cost of Living in Aarhus

Been to Aarhus many times and always enjoy coming here. The people are incredibly friendly, and I personally would change the Friendly to Foreigners rating to “Great”. There are also a lot of cosy cafes and bakeries, which are nice to hang around in when the rain and wind show their faces — as they often do.

The city has a good range of things to keep you interested, and the nature nearby is also pleasant. Definitely go to ARoS when you visit; the panoramic view is cool, but the exhibitions were also interesting when I went.

The city is expensive, but Denmark is a pricey country in general. I would recommend staying in either Aarhus Ø or Frederiksbjerg if you could choose any neighbourhood, though those are also the most desirable ones so the competition for places is high haha.

I personally don’t mind the weather so much, but that would be a negative for a lot of people. Ditto for cost of living. The only thing that would stop me moving here is that Aalborg and Copenhagen have better airport connections IMO.
