Danes, rejoice! Aarhus, the second biggest city in Denmark, is crowned the European Capital of Culture.
This old Viking town is a perfect mixture of the old and the new. From the city’s gothic cathedral to the contemporary architectural masterpieces such as Isbjerget, Aarhus has long deserved this title.
