Delicious food and a great movie in the open air – is there a better combination? We don’t think so, and therefore we invite you to join us for an evening at Aarhus Street Food and Outdoor Cinema! Aarhus Street Food is a permanent street food market located in old buildings at the bus station. It has over 30 street kitchens and bars serving food from all around the world; from traditional Danish smørrebrød and tarteletter to Vietnamese Bánh mì’s. So whether you want to taste Danish food or have the food from your home country, you can find something here – including vegans and vegetarians. Besides being a street food market, Aarhus Street Food is also the place for outdoor cinema. We’ll be enjoying food from Street Food together first and then afterwards watching a great movie on the enormous screen.

6 August - Dinner and Outdoor Games in Uniparken

Let’s have dinner and play games! Aarhus University is home to the beautiful University Park in the middle of campus. The park is frequently used by students as well as the rest of Aarhus’ citizens – especially in the summer. The park has a hilly terrain, lakes, and paths, which are used by students to walk from one end of campus to the other. Therefore, there is no better place for us to enjoy a picnic than here. All you have to do is bring your own food and drinks and then we'll bring the outdoor games!

7 August - ARoS: Aarhus' Largest Art Museum

ARoS is one of the largest art museums in Northern Europe and it is a must-see when visiting Aarhus. ARoS offers international exhibits, contemporary art and the famous Rainbow, which gives you the best view of Aarhus. One of Aarhus' most famous buildings with a literal rainbow on top. You have likely already seen the rainbow from afar, but now you can enter! The exhibitions change regularly so it won't be the same if you have visited it before. And you don't have to be an art student to enjoy this visit. It is the perfect location for Instagram friendly pictures and the odds of you leaving the gift shop without a purchase are very low. There is an area for eating a packed lunch, where you can find the AU student assistants, at 18:30, if you want to eat your packed lunch with them, or if you have any questions.
