When Easter is near, it is also a sign that spring is coming, and the most lovely months of the year are ahead of us. Easter is possibly the best season to slow down and take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
And a mini-getaway to Aarhus is just the way to do it.
Here, you will find lots of great experiences, activities, cosy moments, romantic locations and fun for the entire family. Dive into the past, enjoy being together in the present and explore the many exciting adventures, Aarhus has to offer.
Easter is celebrated in many parts of the world and is one of the most important holidays in Christianity. Several other holidays are associated with Easter, including Shrove Tuesday, Ascension Day and Pentecost.
One of the most important traditions is the Easter egg, which not only symbolises the resurrection of Jesus, but also became a symbol in the period around 1600, when Easter often coincided with Lent. Here, the many eggs that the hens began to lay in spring were collected to be enjoyed at Easter.
Please note that stores are closed on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Monday and Easter Monday.
