Salling Aarhus

We were surprised at the wonderful rooftop experience we had. We saw the platform that sticks out over the street but the rooftop offers way more than a walk that platform. We recommend making the trip up there. We also did a fair amount of shopping in the store. we did not eat in any of the restaurants.

We visited Aarhus for the day while on a cruise, and Salling Rooftop Café was one of the best surprises of our stop! After hearing about it and seeing a few mentions online, we made our way over—and we’re so glad we did. This spot is an absolute must-see if you’re in the city, even just for a few hours. Located right in the heart of Aarhus above the Salling department store, this rooftop space offers breathtaking, panoramic views over the city. And the best part? It’s completely free to access! We especially loved being able to spot our cruise ship from up there—such a cool perspective that really made the experience special. The rooftop is more than just a viewing platform—it’s a thoughtfully designed social space. There’s a café where you can grab a coffee or snack and just relax while taking in the sights. It’s a great place to unwind and soak in the vibe of the city from above. The glass skywalk is definitely not for the faint-hearted, but if you’re brave enough to step out onto it, the view straight down is unforgettable. It adds a little thrill to the otherwise chill atmosphere and makes for some great photo ops. Salling Rooftop Café is clean, modern, and surprisingly peaceful despite being in the middle of the city. Whether you’re visiting Aarhus for a day or longer, this rooftop is a must for the views alone. Don’t miss it!

What a fantastic experience. Whilst Aarhus might not be the 'go-to' place in Denmark, it does have its fair share of beautiful gems. One includes the rooftop cafe/garden at the Salling shopping centre. The venues are brilliant and with it being so open, you can feel the wind. A brilliant evening.

An incredible view over the city from the rooftop terrace, for free. During the winter months you can also enjoy the pretty lights, but sadly they close in the summer before it gets dark enough.

The entry is free to see the view and they have a bar which i did not went to. Relaxing atmosphere and very nice view. I would recommend.

Nice to sit out here on a sunny day. Bring some time as it might take a while to find a seat. It's a busy place when the sun is out. The rooftop garden is a heaven for children and offers a great view over the town. Food is slightly overpriced and portions are small.

Exciting as well as relaxing place specially around sunset time so many different areas to sit and enjoy the nature setting sun and people from so many nationalities. Children jumping and laughing , some getting cozy others just chilling with a drink. It’s a great places to spend a beautiful evening after a hectic day of walking n exploring the city

Excellent views over Aarhus! This is a very unusual spot for a perfect view on top of department store in the middle of the town centre. It’s not well signposted that you have to cross the store to the highest floor to enter the roof area. What a surprise! There are walk ways, almost a kind of maze to walk through with different fantastic views over the city. They have some glass floor to view through and down to the pedestrian area. In summer there also offer some food to get a great spot to view and relax.
