The local area

Groceries

• Rema 1000 — the closest supermarket.
• Netto — a bit further away.
• Bilka — the widest selection by far. We usually shop through Bilka ToGo: order everything online, drive over, and they load it straight into the trunk of your car. They can also deliver to the door, but we usually go with pickup.

Restaurants & takeaway

Honestly: if you’re after good food, head into the Aarhus city centre — the local places in Tilst are mainly fast food. A good place to start is Tripadvisor’s restaurant list for Aarhus.

• Delivery: we recommend the Wolt app.
• Something quick: order from Pizza Toppers directly on their website — usually at your door in about 30 minutes.

Things to do

Some classics in and around Aarhus:

• ARoS Art Museum — the rainbow panorama on the roof is worth it alone
• Den Gamle By — open-air museum of Danish town life
• Moesgaard Museum — striking architecture, great for kids too
• The Latin Quarter — cafés and small shops in the old town
• Marselisborg forests & beaches — a short drive south

Amusement & animal parks

If you’re up for a day trip, these are all within driving range:

• Tivoli Friheden (~20 min) — classic amusement park right in Aarhus
• Randers Regnskov (~35 min) — tropical rainforest zoo under domes in Randers
• Djurs Sommerland (~50 min) — one of Denmark’s biggest summer parks, a family favourite
• Ree Park Safari (~55 min) — safari park near Ebeltoft with animals from five continents
• Givskud Zoo (~1 hour) — drive-through safari park with lions and elephants
• Legoland (~1¼ hours) — the original LEGO park in Billund

Getting around

• Bus: lines 3A and 14 run between Tilst and Aarhus — see Arrival & check-in for links to timetables.
• Taxi: use Uber.
• E-bikes: unfortunately the Lime bikes are geofenced and can’t take you from the city centre to Tilst.
