Aarhus is an important and busy traffic junction, with train and ferry connections to other parts of Denmark and with easy access to international airports in Tirstrup (AAR) and Billund (BLL). The icing on the cake, so to speak, is the Nordic seaplane route between the harbors of Copenhagen and Aarhus.
Aarhus Congress Center is in the city’s Scandinavian Center, which is also home to the Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel, Aarhus. Unlike most other congress and exhibition centers, Aarhus Congress Center is not situated in the outskirts of the city but right in its center, neighboring the City Hall, the Aarhus Concert Hall, the ARoS Art Museum and the city’s shopping district with its lively cafés and nightlife.
Airport busses to Tirstrup and Billund and the central station are within walking distance from Aarhus Congress Center.
Arriving by car, go for Aarhus C and follow the signs towards “Musikhuset” and “Scandinavian Center” – where 1,100 parking spaces are available.
