Cycling in and around Aarhus and basic bicycle rules

Bicycle paths and routes

You can go by bike in most of Aarhus, as a form of transportation from A to B, or for taking a trip to the countryside, the forest, or your favourite beach. 

In the city centre, you should look at the blue signs at the beginning and end of the shopping streets. If the sign states 'Kørsel tilladt' you can use your bike. 

Please know that in the city centre, some streets are one-way. Look out for the signs "Ensrettet" and the arrowing signalling in which way the traffic flows.
