The annual Christmas market on Store Torv runs from late November to Christmas Eve with 80 stalls selling traditional Danish Christmas food and drink. The glogg (mulled wine with almonds and raisins) and the æbleskiver (spherical pancakes with jam) are the seasonal highlights.
Address: Store Torv, 8000 Aarhus C
A small Saturday morning fish market at the working harbour selling direct from local boats. The selection covers North Sea fish, Jutland river trout, Limfjord mussels and seasonal smoked eel. The earlier you arrive, the better the fish.
A twice-weekly morning market in the heart of the Latin Quarter on Klostertorv. The Tuesday market is smaller but less crowded; Friday attracts the pre-weekend shopping crowd. The flower stalls and the seasonal vegetable display are the best in the city centre.
A monthly certified-organic farmers market on Mejlgade bringing together 25 Jutland producers who grow or produce to organic or biodynamic standards. The honey and dairy stalls are the most distinctive; the vegetable selection reflects what Jutland farms are actually harvesting that week.
The main outdoor market in Aarhus runs twice a week with 60 stalls covering fresh Jutland produce, artisan cheese, smoked fish, meat and flowers. Saturday morning is the main event; arrive by 08:00 for the best selection before the crowd arrives.
The Brabrand bazaar is the most genuinely multicultural food market in Jutland. More than 65 stalls sell produce, spices, halal meat, fish and cooked food from Turkey, Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Southeast Asia. The price level is the lowest in the city.
The harbour market hall on Aarhus O in a restored warehouse brings together a dozen Jutland artisan food and drink producers. The oyster counter and the smoked-fish stall are the anchors; the harbour setting makes it the most atmospheric food destination on the waterfront.
