Aarhus University is worth seeing for the campus as much as for the institution. C. F. Møller, Kaj Fisker, and landscape architect C. Th. Sørensen gave it a strict yellow-brick language set in rolling lawns, and later buildings have mostly kept to that calm, coherent pattern.
The university park is open and easy to wander, with the library, lecture buildings, lakes, and lawns forming one of Aarhus's best pieces of modern Danish planning. It pairs naturally with the nearby Steno Museum or Den Gamle By.
