Discover more about Magasin Aarhus
A historic Aarhus institution by the canal
Magasin Aarhus occupies a prime corner in the very heart of the city, just where the streets slope down towards the canal. The department store traces its roots in Aarhus back to the late 19th century, when modern retail was still a novelty and grand emporiums symbolised urban progress. Today, the building’s solid façade, generous windows and city-facing entrances still feel like a gateway into a world of curated goods, a contrast to the cobbled streets and narrow lanes outside. Step inside and you move from the bustle of the pedestrian zone into a bright, layered interior. Escalators connect the different levels, while wide aisles and open atriums keep an airy feeling even on busy days. Natural light filters through large panes, bouncing off displays of glass, textiles and polished stone.Fashion, beauty and design under one roof
Magasin Aarhus is designed as a one-stop universe for style and lifestyle. The lower and ground floors typically combine beauty halls, accessories and everyday essentials, with fragrance counters, skincare brands and cosmetics arranged in neat islands. Further up, menswear and womenswear sections offer everything from tailored pieces to casual Nordic labels, with dedicated spaces for denim, shoes and outerwear to suit Denmark’s shifting seasons. Homeware, kitchen gear and interior design ranges add another layer, reflecting the Danish love of simple, functional aesthetics. Shelves of glassware, textiles and lighting make it easy to piece together a Scandinavian-inspired apartment in a single visit. Throughout the store, clear signage and themed corners help you navigate between fashion, kids’ clothing, beauty and home.Cafés, food hall flavours and small indulgences
Beyond shopping, Magasin Aarhus invites you to linger. Within the building you find cafés and a food court atmosphere, where baristas pull shots of coffee, counters serve light meals and pastry displays tempt with cakes. It is the kind of place where you might pause mid-shopping for a smørrebrød plate, a salad or a slice of layer cake before heading back to the escalators. Gourmet and delicatessen sections showcase chocolates, specialty tea and coffee, and nicely packaged treats that work as last-minute gifts. Around seasonal holidays, displays grow more elaborate, with gift boxes, decorations and themed windows turning the store into a festive backdrop for city life.Services, personal attention and seasonal buzz
Magasin Aarhus is not only about products; it also leans into service. Personal shopping consultations help you refresh a wardrobe or refine a specific look, often with private fitting rooms and curated selections prepared in advance. Beauty advisers offer one-to-one guidance on skincare routines or makeup updates, and many counters host occasional mini-treatments or demonstrations. At times of year when Aarhus feels especially lively, such as the lead-up to Christmas or summer sales, the store becomes a central stage. Decorative installations, special promotions and extended hours draw locals and visitors who use Magasin as a reference point while exploring the city centre’s surrounding streets, galleries and cafés.Central landmark and practical city-centre base
Because of its location, Magasin Aarhus doubles as a landmark and a useful base during a day in town. Its multiple entrances connect seamlessly to the pedestrian shopping streets, and its proximity to the canal-side promenade means you are only a few steps from outdoor terraces and riverside seating. The interior offers shelter from Danish rain and wind, with plenty of quiet corners to regroup, check a map, or simply rest on a bench between floors. For travellers, it is a handy spot to pick up forgotten essentials, upgrade a travel wardrobe, or choose design-led souvenirs that still feel authentically Danish. Whether you come for a quick browse or a full afternoon of browsing, dining and people-watching, Magasin Aarhus slots naturally into almost any city itinerary.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
