Everything you need to feel at home while you grow as a leader.

So you’re joining us in Aarhus – wonderful! Whether it’s your first time visiting or you already know the Danish winds, this page will help you settle in, feel grounded, and make the most of your time during the course. We’ve gathered some of the essentials – from where to stay to what to eat and how to get around – so you can focus on what matters: showing up, learning, and leading.

🛏️ Where to Stay

We don’t offer accommodation as part of the course, but Aarhus has plenty of great places for different tastes and budgets.

Recommended areas (all close to Thryve):

• Frederiksbjerg – cozy and full of cafés, bakeries, and people-watching spots.

• Aarhus C – central, lively, walkable.

• Trøjborg – quieter, green, close to the water.

Hotels we like:

• Hotel Oasia – stylish, Nordic, central.

• Wakeup Aarhus – budget-friendly and clean.

• Comwell Aarhus – sleek, modern, great breakfast.

• BOOK1 Design Hostel – a social, design-forward hostel with both dorms and private rooms.

Prefer an apartment? Try Airbnb or Booking.com for something more homey.

🍽️ Food & Coffee

Lunch and snacks are included in your course. But you’ll probably want to explore the city’s flavors too.

Cafés we love (and probably work from sometimes):

• La Cabra – one of the best cups of coffee in town.

• Great Coffee – hidden gem, strong brews.

• Street Coffee – local favorite with several locations.

Dinner ideas:

• Langhoff & Juul – organic, seasonal Danish fare.

• Hærværk – experimental and delicious.

• Rebel Food – street food market with something for everyone.

🚲 Getting Around

Aarhus is a biking city. You can walk almost everywhere, but if you want to live like a local:

• Donkey Republic or Swapfiets offer rental bikes.

• Rejseplanen (app) helps you navigate buses, trains, and light rail.

• We’ll send you the exact address and directions for Thryve once you sign up.

🧳 What to Pack

• Comfortable clothes (yes, we’ll be moving around)

• A notebook (you’ll want to remember this stuff)

• Layers – Denmark’s weather has moods

• Curiosity, openness, and your full self
