The Botanical Gardens at Aarhus are just up the way from Den Gamle By. We pay a short visit just before closing time.
The Gardens were opened in 1873 to promote fruit trees and other useful plants. In addition to the extensive grounds there are series of linked Tropical Houses which are home to plants and trees from around the world.
We climb a spiral staircase to a rooftop eyrie above just as the tropical sprays begin to mist the palms. What a beautiful way to end our day here.
