Experience Aarhus' spectacular transformation on this guided walking tour through the Sydhavnen quarter. From industrial glory to a modern neighbourhood under development – learn about this fascinating journey from harbour and energy production to a creative and cultural hub.
Guides explore the quarter through both historical and contemporary perspectives. Discover how the gasworks and electricity production once shaped the area, and how it later lay dormant. Today, the area thrives with Filmbyen, Jyllands-Posten's newsrooms, Danske Bank's new headquarters, and a vibrant culture and art scene.
New development projects:
- TRÆ – Denmark's tallest timber building (78 m) – a sustainable architectural icon
- Kulbroen – the restored coal crane track becomes a link between Sydhavnen and the city centre
- The venue Train is relocating to the area
- New office buildings, hotels and art education facilities
The tour also explores the neighbourhood's social and creative dimensions: art, music, entrepreneurship and facilities for vulnerable groups. Get answers to questions about the area's industrial past – what happened to Oliemøllen? What will become of the old slaughterhouse and cattle market site?
Price: 135 kr. Meeting point: Outside Dokk1.
