Denmark's second city has the ARoS art museum, topped by 'Your rainbow panorama', a circular glass walkway in all the colours of the rainbow, with views over the city. Inside, see Ron Mueck's giant 'Boy'.


Den Gamle By (The Old Town) is an open-air museum of houses brought from all over Denmark, with streets from the 1600s, the 1920s and the 1970s, with costumed staff. The Moesgaard Museum, south of the city, shows the Grauballe Man, an Iron Age bog body.
