Denmark's charming second city, Aarhus, boasts a beautiful location on the east coast of Jutland, a peninsula bounded by the North Sea to the east and the Baltic Sea to the west. With its roots stretching all the way back to 928 AD, the city has been an important commercial port since the Middle Ages, with fishing and seafaring its main areas of industrial activity. The wealth generated by merchants over the centuries is still in evidence today, with many well-preserved Renaissance buildings to be seen around the city centre. Aarhus' lovely Old Town (Den Gamle By) is a fascinating open-air museum with around 80 historic buildings collected from all over Denmark, including many from the 16th and 17th centuries. One of the largest art museums in Europe, the excellent ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum has many highlights, including several masterpieces from the Danish Golden Age (1770 to 1900). Built in the 12th century, Aarhus Cathedral is well worth seeing for its numerous Romanesque features and beautifully illuminated interior. The city is also famous for its Viking Museum (Vikingemuseet) where visitors can learn all about the many residents of the Viking community who made Aarhus their home over 1,000 years ago. With a car hire in Aarhus you can visit many of the country's most interesting attractions, such as Skagen (the most northerly point on mainland Denmark), Wadden Sea National Park and the wonderful city of Copenhagen about a two-hour drive away.

" See 3 above "
" I travelled to Viborg for a funeral. Your daily mileage rate did not cover this simple and short journey which I found very poor. Very disappointed the Sat Nav did not work and I had to rely on my memories of 20+ years ago to get me there. Otherwise it was excellent!! "

" See above in regards to unlimited mileage issues. "
" Flizzr had not been made aware by Auto Europe that the rate I booked was with unlimited mileage. This caused issues when picking up the car hence delaying our departure. It sounded as though when Auto Europe booked with Flizzr the incorrect info was passed on. Not a great initial impression and one that sounds as though it was Auto Europe's error. "
