Aarhus Health And Safety
Aarhus is one of the safest towns in Europe and shouldn’t present any problems to your safety or health.
Safety
Aarhus has long been considered a very safe city for living in and visiting. However, a small level of crime does exist during the peak summer months, and tourists are usually on the receiving end of this bad fortune. The worst thing that you may encounter in Aarhus is having your bag or camera stolen while you aren’t paying attention.
In general, you can go anywhere in Aarhus after dark and feel completely safe. The bar and restaurant areas in the Old Town are well lit and policed. As in all new environments, you should stay aware as the night gets late. Keep your valuables out of sight and your bag slung across your shoulder to deter any would-be thieves.

Health
There are no health risks in Aarhus which merit mention. The tap water is perfectly safe to drink and the food in restaurants is always prepared to the highest international standards. It does get rather cold in Aarhus, even in the summer. So always keep a sweater with you just in case.
If anything does happen during your visit, there are excellent medical facilities in Aarhus. Many of the staff and doctors speak English and can assist with any problems. Citizens of the EU should be covered by their own insurance plan, but visitors from other countries should get some travel insurance to cover any unexpected hospital costs. The price of travel insurance is very small compared to a Danish medical bill.
