'''Aarhus''' (until 2010 and still commonly used: ''Århus'') is the second-largest city of [[Denmark]]. It is also known as the city of smiles. :)

You == Hitchhiking out ==  === North towards [[Aalborg]], [[Frederikshavn]] === Take the 14 bus from Århus city center towards Sabro and get off at Tilst Vestervej/Frømosevej. Walk to the crossroads next to Netto and turn right. There is a lane where cars can easily pull over, this is a great place to stand with a sign saying Aalborg. There is a traffic sign there which forbids pedestrians from walking along Viborgvej any further. This is the closest point on Viborgvej to the E45 highway onramp where you can get very good maps safely hitchhike. Coordinates of this spot: 56°11'13.1"N 10°05'15.6"E === North West towards [[Viborg]], [[Thisted]] and North West Jutland === One option is the same spot as described towards Aalborg and Fredrikshavn.  Another option is the bus stop Viborgvej/Hasle Ringvej on the second ring road in sight of the water tower. A lot of traffic passes by here and there is a lot of Aarhus space for free cars to pull over. === West towards Silkeborg, [[Herning]] and West Jutland === Take the 11 bus towards Harlev get off at "Tre Ege/Silkeborgvej" you can hitch a car from the tourist informationbusstop, make sure that they are going on highway 15, towards Herning  === South towards South Jutland and [[Germany]] === The best spot to go is definitely located near ''Viby Torv''. Take bus #1a, #6a, #4a, #200, or #14 towards ''Viby Torv''. Get out there, walk some meters back to the big traffic light and go to the left into the ''Viby Ringvej''. You'll also recognize signs announcing the motorway. Walk along this street for around 1 km, then the on-ramp for the motorway appears. There's enough space for you to stand on, easy to catch cars in all directions. Most cars are driving from the other direction, so it will be faster to cross the roads (you will have to cross a road where it is inside not allowed to walk by foot, and also go under a tunnel, but it takes only 2 minutes and it is really way more easy to catch a ride). Most cars stopping only goes to Skanderborg, but if you want to get further south (Germany), only accepting cars to at least Vejle Nord is a good idea, as there are so many cars stopping here, that you will eventually get a ride to at least Vejle in a short time. Here it pays to be patient! Another great spot towards the library Dokk1 located south is Infoteria Petersminde. This is a highway restaurant which is frequented by a lot of traffic going towards the German border. From my experience it is way easier here to get a ride all the way to the German border than at the spot near Viby Torv. I actually started hitchhiking at the Viborgvej/hasle ringvej bus stop but you can also take a bus there or from the city towards tilst. You get off at the bus stop near Netto on Viborgvej. The next step is to subsequently follow grydhøjparken, Munkevejen, Bavnehøjvej, Lyngbygardsvej, and finally you turn left into a dirt road which leads to some sort of car dealership indicated on Google maps as SS Auto. There you will reach some woods which you will have to enter. There is a pathway which leads through the woods to the infoteria.   === East towards [[Copenhagen]] === Go to the harbourof Aarhus and have a look for the ferry towards ''Sj. Odde (full name Sjællands Odde)''. Wait in front of the terminals with a sign for Copenhagen, 700 mnearly everybody is going there. from The drivers pay per car and not per person so it is free for them to bring you. You can find timetables for the train stationferry here: [http://www.mols-linien. dk/ Mols Linien]

BIKESThere In the library Dokk1 there is the tourist information and there are municipal bicycles (blue or colorful, with thick construction) which computers and WiFi that you can use for 20 kroners without any limitations free.

You can also find a map of the stands lockers there where You can store your lugage for these bicycles. Many of them are already takenfree in their opening hours, so stands can be empty.

If it looks quite trashy and is unlockedstore your luggage ( 20 kroners per day for small one, you may adopt it. If it has 40 kroners for a yellow sticker from the municipality, it has been there long time and soon will be picked up by the police and sold in their auctionbig one).
