Christiansbjerg

Christiansbjerg is one of Århus's old boroughs located beyond the historic city center.

There was a lot of houses and apartments built and several urban squares has given Christiansbjerg its own structure with its own urban center with lots of shops.
Today, the area has around 22,000 inhabitants, and has become a important part of the city, with a computer college, the just expanded shopping centre StorCenter Nord and many students living in the area, just next to the University

Trøjborg

Trøjborg is located north of Århus C and has around 10,000 inhabitants. Many college students live in Trøjborg, but with its short distance to downtown, and to the ocean, it is very attractive. It is almost like an independent town in the city, with its own distinct shopping district with cafe life. There are about one hundred stores, a cinema, grocery and fruit markets, and its own shopping centre. From 2001 to 2006 Trøjborg has been through an modernisation, with wider sidewalks and reconstruction of urban spaces.

Marienlund and Riis Skov

Marienlund is the notheren tip of Trøjborg around the very busy junction, Grenaavej, Nordre Ringgade and Dronning Magrethesvej. It is mostly single houses crowded together. Marienlund is also the name of a terminus for several bus lines going around and through the City.

Riis Skov is located far east in Århus Nord and is one big forest in the middle of the city. It is surrounded by city on north, west and south and Århus bay on the east. It is one of Aarhus important landmarks and is very attractive for tourists as well as the people in Århus. Along the coast there is an attractive beach separated from the woods by the regional railroad tracks.

Train

Århus N is very poorly served by rail. Regional trains only run on the far east in Trøjborg, along the coast. There are only two stops, a station in Trøjborg and a small platform east of Riis Skov.

Light Rail
