Getting There

  • Walking

    From the central square or the major shopping street, Clemens Bar is just a short stroll toward the riverside promenade. The prominent Aarhus River, flanked by rows of lively bars and restaurants, serves as your guiding landmark—look for bustling terraces beside the water. Most city center hotels and attractions are within a 5–10 minute walk, making this an easy spot to reach on foot.

  • Taxi

    Taxis are widely available in Aarhus C and can deliver you directly to the riverside nightlife area. The journey from any central city address typically takes under 5 minutes and costs about 70–110 DKK, depending on distance and time of night. Drop-off points are close by, but street parking is limited near the main bar district.

  • Public Transport

    City buses stop frequently near the river and central pedestrian zone. From Aarhus Central Station, expect a ride of just a few minutes (standard bus fare: 24 DKK), with stops surrounded by well-known cafés, shops, and plaza landmarks. It's then a very short walk to the lively riverside where Clemens Bar is located.

  • Driving/Parking

    Driving in central Aarhus is possible, but parking in the immediate riverside area is very limited and metered (approximately 22 DKK/hour during evenings). Several larger municipal car parks are a few minutes’ walk from the river, best suited if visiting by car. No special tolls or road charges apply.
