May 2014 Itinerary Link
Aarhus
Arhus is the second largest city in Denmark(population: 270,000) located on the east coast of the Jutland peninsula. As the center of culture and trade of the region, it probably deserved at least a full day of our time, but we only had enough time to walk around the old downtown area and have a nice dinner by the port. The picture above is from that visit, but I can’t recall the details.
On the Way
We saw these yellow flowers all over the place in Denmark, Sweden and other parts of Europe. After some internet search, we concluded these are rapeseed flowers, which is the third-largest source of vegetable oil in the world according to Wikipedia.
Aalborg
Aalborg is the fourth largest city in Demark with the population of about 110,000, and 20% of these are students at area universities. It had a nice old downtown core, and it was quite pleasant to walk around this area. After having lunch, we ran into a parade procession & people were just having fun being part of it.
