Salling is a department store in Aarhus. Customers can purchase clothing, household goods, beauty supplies, shoes, toys and more. However, many of the visitors to Salling arrive not to shop but to see the spectacular rooftop.

The Salling Rooftop is located atop the department store. It has a glass roof with a 360-degree, panoramic view of the city. The interior of the rooftop offers regular special events and entertainment. It is a popular dining spot and a place to get a cocktail or cup of coffee.

Along with the Salling Rooftop, Salling is now offering the Rooftop Garden. The garden is a combination of trees, plants and works of art.

The Salling Skywalk extends out from the Rooftop. It is a glass walkway that is 88 feet above street level. Both the Rooftop and the Skywalk are open from 10 AM to 6 PM on weekends and from 10 AM to 8 PM on weekends.

Aarhus Cathedral is a Church of Denmark cathedral that was previously a part of the Roman Catholic church. The Gothic and Romanesque cathedral was completed in 1300 and dedicated to Saint Clement, the patron saint of sailors.

Construction of the church started around 1190. It was built around Saint Clement's church, a timber church built in 1102. The Romanesque architectural style included half-rounded arches, a flat timber ceiling and four chapels.

The cathedral suffered great damage in 1330 when a fire burned much of Aarhus. It was abandoned until 1449 when it was renovated and enlarged. The new design of the church used Gothic vaulting with high windows and a lengthened nave. It is now both the tallest and longest church in Denmark at 305 feet long and 315 feet high. The current, 314-foot tower was built in 1931.

There are more frescoes in Aarhus Cathedral than in any church in the country. They were painted between 1470 and 1520. Likewise, the painting of Saint Christopher and Saint Clement are the tallest in Denmark. The cathedral's one stained glass window was created by Emanuel Vigeland in 1926. At almost 46-feet tall, it is the largest stained glass window in Denmark.

Latin Quarter is a neighborhood in the inner city of Aarhus. It is the oldest part of the city with a history that dates to the 14th century. The oldest houses and buildings in the Latin Quarter were built in the 16th century. One of these is Juuls Gard, which is one of the oldest buildings in the city.

Latin Quarter includes the main square of Pustervig Torv and several streets around the square. The name of the neighborhood was chosen in the 1990s due to the area's resemblance to Paris's Latin Quarter.

The quarter has a large number of shops, cafes and restaurants. It is also known for its active nightlife and entertainment venues. There are a number of small stages throughout the Latin Quarter where live music plays in the evening. Visitors will also find a number of galleries, studios and public art displays.

The Mill Path is a historic street in Aarhus. It is a cobblestone street with buildings constructed between 1870 and 1885. However, the street itself has been used in Aarhus since the 13th century.

The name "Mill Path" refers to the Aarhus Mill, which was first mentioned in 1289. The mill was located where the former Aarhus Main Library now stands at the western end of the street.

Sadly, the beautiful homes built in the late 19th century mostly fell into disrepair by 1925. The healthy soil that created an excellent basis for farmland because marshy and tenants were unable to maintain upkeep of the homes. Most of the street remained uninhabitable through 1960 when a renovation plan for the street was put together.

Students and artists moved into the neighborhood during the late 20th century. They painted many of the homes in bright colors, giving it the charm that is seen today. Renovations on the street led to many buildings being removed and replaced with modern structures. What is left is interesting architecture that is a favorite among the visitors to Aarhus.

The Aarhus Botanical Gardens, nestled just west of Den Gamle By-the Urban Museum in central Aarhus, offers a verdant retreat open year-round. Established in 1873 initially for experimental cultivation of fruit trees and beneficial plants, the Gardens have evolved into The Garden Society of Jutland. This transformation marked a dedication to enhancing private gardens with robust and worthy plant varieties, underscoring a deep-rooted commitment to horticulture and ecological preservation.

Visitors to the Gardens can explore a rich tapestry of native Danish flora arranged according to their natural habitats. This organized display not only educates about regional botany but also showcases the diversity within Denmark's landscapes. Moreover, a special section dedicated to medicinal plants offers insights into the traditional and contemporary uses of various herbs.

Adding an international dimension, the central rockery presents a collection of mountain plants from around the globe, creating a striking contrast with the local species. This global aspect highlights the botanical variety and adaptability of alpine flora.

The Botanical Gardens are thoughtfully designed with visitor comfort in mind. Scattered throughout the area are tables and benches, some equipped with metal plates for disposable grills, making it a perfect spot for picnics. Environmentally conscious facilities ensure that visitors can grill and dine amidst nature without harming it.

The presence of the Hessel Brook adds a dynamic water element to the serene landscape. This brook, a continuation of the Aarhus and Egaa Streams, carves through the garden, enhancing its picturesque setting and providing a soothing backdrop.

With theme beds, bogs, beech woods, and dunes, the Gardens offer a comprehensive glimpse into various ecological systems and plant arrangements. Each visit can be both a tranquil retreat and an educational journey, reflecting the Garden’s historical mission and its ongoing contribution to botanical knowledge and environmental stewardship in Aarhus.
