IF you're looking for some city break inspiration for next year, why not try Aarhus. The Danish seaside city has been named as one of the best places to travel to in 2025 - and I visited last year thanks to some cheap Ryanair flights. Aarhus has been named one of Europe's most underrated destinations to visit in 2025 by a team of experts at Time Out.
The experts praised its world-class coffee and hygge feel as well as its street food scene and miniature theme park , Tivoli Friheden. This combination of features - as well as many other indicators - led to the city being named the world's happiest city by the Happy City Index last year. As someone who has visited Aarhus , I can understand why Denmark's second city is both underrated and the world's happiest.

It's this atmosphere - both spirited and laidback - that earned Aarhus its "city of smiles" moniker. A grin never left my face during my trip - especially when I was visiting some of the city's top attractions.
Aarhus is home to Den Gamle By - the world's oldest living museum .

Although as a child of the 90s, my favourite had to be the reconstructed Blockbuster store where I was taken straight back to my childhood.
