Advantages: cheap for Denmark
Disadvantages: none for our needs

We used to live in Aarhus, and on the few visits that we took to Aarhus initially to find an apartment to rent, we stayed at the Cab Inn. Cab Inn is a Danish hotel chain, they have 8 hotels in Denmark; Aarhus, Aalborg, Esbjerg, Odense, and then 4 hotels ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to get to from UK, cheaper and less touristic than Copenhagen

Advantages: Has a Tropical zoo inside, has a few sections in the zoo which is interesting
Disadvantages: a little expensive to go during winter, only bus 6A reaches the direct entrance.

The Copenhagen Zoo seems to receive quite a lot of publicity hence the decision to make a visit when I was in Copenhagen. How To Get There Take Bus 12 from a bus stop in the city centre, perhaps the Town Hall Square or the main bus stop outside th ... Read review

Hi there. Welcome to Ciao. It's great to see you've written so many reviews; it would, perhaps be beneficial if you read how more established members write reviews. Your reviews can benefit from a bit more detail, and you'll get higher rates. You'll also get more rates if you read and rate other members, so they come back to read yours from recipocral curiosity. You get paid on ciao based on the volume and quality of rates you get, rather than the number of reviews that you write (although they do occasionally correlate). Hope this helps.

Advantages: Central location, free wireless access, clean and tidy
Disadvantages: Showing its age a bit!

Returning to Aarhus, there was no chance I was ever going to check back into the Hotel Mercur (see my review from April 2008 to read just why you should steer well clear) so I had to get searching for somewhere else. Denmark's second city seems to suffer ... Read review

Advantages: Great range of museums

We went to Aarhus in June to meet some friends and it was great. The city itself has plenty of shops and cafes along with bars and restaurants. The setup for tourists is much better than any place in England of the same size. There are bikes you can re ... Read review

Advantages: City centre location, great buffet breakfast, peaceful rooms
Disadvantages: No spa on site

We stayed at the Radisson for 3 nights in June and it was great. Arhus had so much to see and the hotel was perfectly suited to walk to most of the attractions. We had a standard double room and the bed was large and the room very quiet. We booked the ... Read review

Advantages: Slap bang in the centre of Esbjerg, not made of Lego or bacon.
Disadvantages: Old and it shows.

If you want a decent place to stay in the centre of town, this is probably going to be the cheapest option. Clean and cosy rooms, friendly staff, breakfast included and within crawling distance of most of the town's watering holes. Local Info: If you ... Read review

I've been over a lot of Denmark - Sindal, Aarhus, Thisted, Billund - but never made it here. Sounds like a place to miss though! by Vodkaboy

Advantages: Cheapest in town, clean, nice building.
Disadvantages: Only just in town, bit like going to a boarding school.

If the Encyclopædia Britannica ever decides to create a virtual hostel to communicate exactly what a hostel looks like, they probably ought to model it on this one. It does everything that a hostel should do, and not a single late-night-beer more. As with ... Read review

If you hire a car in Denmark, you should be aware of a couple of things. Although i have hired only once (my employer paid), I didn't get told about either of them. Firstly, the cost. Denmark must be one of the worlds most expensive places to drive. Th ... Read review

Nah China there is Djibouti and the Dominican Republic. Anyway I've noticed you have done a couple of insightful reviews of various aspects of Denmark, it would be good to have them rolled into one review. Denmark is somewhere I fancy going to and you gave me some great tips, especially regarding the bikes. by marylou2u

A bit shorter than I expected, but then again how much can you write about driving nad cycling in Denmark anyway? I think you did a decent job, and that give way to the cycles that are goign straight on your right.... what the hell? Denmark is weird... but then it's the only country that begins with D... or am I wrong? by china_wolf

That account couldn't be closer to the truth!! Im English living in Aarhus (possibly indefinately) and I absolutely love it! The most friendly nation Ive ever been to and you dont have the worry of being mugged/blown up in a terrorist explostion/hit with a parking/speeding fine everywhere you go. You also dont get those horrible little oiks that hang round shopping centres, like we do in the UK. The youths in Aarhus are well educated, friendly people who prefer to spend their time socialising in cafes - rather than all getting drunk in bars. Finally, Jimh1 was right about the vikings leaving only beautiful women behind!! - they are stunning! I should know... thats why I live there. You will LOVE it here. by tomdougal1980
