Jutland
Århus, Denmark's second largest city, lies on the east coast of Jutland where the river "Århus Å" flows into Århus Bay, a bay of the Kattegat. In the vicinity of the town are parks and woods and along the coast beaches extend for several miles.
History
The settlement was first mentioned in 928 as the see of a bishop, and it received its municipal charter in 1441. During the Middle Ages commerce, seafaring and fishing were of considerable importance to Århus. For a time the town played a part in the great herring markets in Falsterbro on Schonen, to which people came from the whole of northern Europe.
