Aarhus, Denmark’s second-largest city and an ancient Viking stronghold, is incredibly charming!!!!!

First stop: Viking Museum 🛡️ Ticket: 30 DKK. A compact exhibition but interesting glimpse into Viking history and culture! Next: ARoS Art Museum 🌈 Ticket: 150 DKK. Several special exhibitions, but the Abstract Art section and the iconic Rainbow Panorama were our favorites! Then: Bubble Bar for boba tea 🧋 Highly recommend the Oreo Milkshake!
