Being founded by Vikings more than 1,200 years ago, Aarhus is one of the oldest cities in the Nordic countries, and the cultural heritage from the Vikings has left its obvious mark on the region, which from around the year 800 until 1050 was the centre of the Viking Empire.

Did you know that the Aarhus once bay provided shelter for the largest Viking naval base in any of the Nordic countries? Today, numerous ruins, mounds, wrecked ships and well-told myths help bring the story of the Vikings’ seafaring adventures to life in the entire region.
