It is possible to go directly by car from Copenhagen to Aarhus by crossing the Great Belt Bridge – the drive takes approx. 2½ hours. Or you can go by ferry from the ports of either Odden-Ebeltoft or Odden-Aarhus.
From Britain and the Scandinavian countries, there are good ferry-links to a number of cities and towns in Denmark, from which there are excellent motorways to Aarhus.
Aarhus City Busses
The city bus system in Aarhus is very efficient. Yellow busses depart approximately every 15 minutes from around 6 a.m. to midnight. Busses stop close to the university.
