We went to Aarhus in June to meet some friends and it was great. The city itself has plenty of shops and cafes along with bars and restaurants.
The setup for tourists is much better than any place in England of the same size. There are bikes you can rent for the day on a coin system like supermarket trolleys, lots of buses and passes to make entrance to the attractions cheaper/free.
The museums are excellent. The Moesgard just out of town has the 2000 year old Bogman which was amazing and quite interesting with the scientific side of the exhibition. There is also a Viking village there worth a look.
The bars were more expensive than the Uk but that is Denmark generally. It didnt stop the other half buying a round (and Yorkshiremen aren't known for their generosity!)
We found it very dark at night but didnt feel at any danger. There is little crime and many places are dimly lit. The streetlights are turned down to save electricity apparently....
We are hoping to go back for Christmas time as they have special things on all Dec and a certain cheap airline has good flights very cheap!
