Aarhus is Denmark's second-largest city — a Jutland port with a serious design-and-architecture scene (Aarhus School of Architecture, the ARoS contemporary art museum with its rooftop Olafur Eliasson rainbow walkway), and the highest student density per capita in Denmark (Aarhus University). Midtbyen (the central old town around the cathedral and Strøget) and Latinerkvarteret (the bohemian student quarter) are the typical walkable anchors; Aarhus Ø (the recent waterfront redevelopment) is the modern alternative. Denmark has no Digital Nomad Visa — Schengen 90/180 for visa-free stays; Pay Limit / Positive List for skilled-worker employment. The structural draws: meaningfully cheaper than Copenhagen, dense design culture, and direct access to Jutland's coastline and ferry routes to Norway.
