I’m going to move to (probably) Århus beginning of January, and I got a few question specifically about the city and live in Denmark in general. If there is a better community for stuff like this let me know!
Live in Denmark
-
I probably have my apartment secured but are there general things to look out for?
-
Are there any must-have-apps for daily live? I already found the DSB app, rejskort and rejsplanen app, but is there for example something for national/local alerts (Germany and Finland have that for example).
-
I already have one specific question: why does DSB offer both to check in and out for a trip and tickets for a specific route?
-
Any other things I might not be aware of? I already lived other Scandinavian countries, so I don’t expect much if a culture shock.
Live in Århus
-
I’ll be trying to join a pen&paper group. Any advice where to go looking?
-
Any areas to avoid?
-
Any hidden gems? Might be a favorite café, bar, beach etc.
-
Any other useful things?
Oh, forgot these:
Like Boromino said, people probablt organize on FB which sucks when you’ve left. There’s also a couple of TTRPG shops - Faraos (not the one one the main street, that’s for comics), and Epic Panda. Maybe they can put you in contact with people.
Depends on your gender, etc. - but generally no. There are ghetto-like areas, but I’ve lived in most of them and not felt unsafe. I am also a 110kg 40-year-old man, so…
Lots of lovely places :) But depends on what you’re into - fine dining, veggie-food, beers, drinks…
Some highlights:
Dokk1 - public space, culture house, library, citizen services, etc. Beautiful space too.
Aarhus Streetfood - food court-style place to eat and a have a few beers, decent food in most places
Moesgaard Museum - a great museum, also a beautiful building
There’s also lots of touristy stuff, let me know if you’re into that.
