Convenient Hotels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Indre By is the inner city district of Aarhus and is generally the best area to stay. It’s very close to Ridehuset and the Musikhuset Aarhus ice skating rink as well as many other places of interest in Aarhus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotel Oasia<\/a> is the best choice in this area, and it’s also convenient to the train station. There aren’t that many well-rated hotels in Aarhus, so I don’t think you’ll find better than this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
