Randers is a small village north of Arhus and for me it is important, because it was one of the towns, where my grandfather from Vienna lived with my danish grandmother.
For YOU Randers might be interesting for the many lovely oldfashioned houses that you may see all over the old town of Randers.
Randers is in the north of Arhus : Take the highway E45, it goes directely to Randers and might make another stop-over on your way to Skagen.

20 mins by bus from the centre of Aarhus, is Moesgaard beach located. Its a very nice beach for walking because there is a big forrest close to it. I went there not long ago for a walk with my course, and it was a very nice day for us, because of the nature and the weather.
You can take bus number 6, to Moesgaard museum, or 19 to the beach. If you take the bus ot the museum you have a 20 mins walk through the woods before you reach the beach.

A bit north of the city center is a relatively quiet beach along with some fishing and sailing boats. This is probably no more than maybe a 20 minute walk outside the city center and it's a nice little detour if you plan on spending more of your time outdoors.

Even though the danish climate doesnt invite to lots of time at the beach, doesnt mean we dont have great beaches. One of the most popular ones is Permanente close to the harbour of Aarhus.
There is a bicyclepath and the train to Grenaa has a station right at the beach.
In the summer it gets quite hot and the beach it crowded

Walking down M?llestien is a pleasant little journey, and it is situated close to the ?rhus ?. The surroundings of M?llestien are those of large public buildings and the shopping area, but M?llestien consists of quiet older homes, the age of which I don't know, but I reckon they are fairly old.
I'd highly recommend taking 10 or 15 minutes out of your way to visit M?llestien. It's not a "must see" attraction but it is a delightful little journey.

The Animal Park, as it's known in English, is south of the city past Marselisborg and close to the shore. It features different types of deer and wild pig.
The deer are domesticated and tend to be friendly if they think you have something to offer them.

If you have a grit fix and want to go somewhere a bit rougher and well-honed, take a walk around the harbour. It's a personal favorite, and it is increasingly rare to see a working harbour in the middle of town.
