The Royal Danish Library in Aarhus holds tours for anyone interested on Tuesday 29, Wednesday 30 and Thursday 31 August.

You can ascend the tower and look out over the city of Aarhus from the top, but there are also guided tours where you can hear about both the buildings and the library's tasks as Denmark's national library. In addition, there is a special angle on the Book Tower, which is about the time during the Cold War.

You can also explore the library on your own where you can

  • hear how you can search in Mediestream and find articles from old Danish newspapers
  • see our frieze with pictures from the library's history
  • experience our beautiful indoor garden
  • enjoy a good lunch or coffee and cake in our canteen Food & Co
