Aarhus Cruise Port Taxi Prices: Fares to Top Attractions & Private Tours
Aarhus is one of Denmark’s most convenient cruise ports for independent sightseeing, with major museums, historic attractions and the city center within relatively easy reach of the harbor. For cruise passengers who prefer not to book a shore excursion, taxis provide another way to explore both central Aarhus and attractions farther outside the city.
The photographed Aarhus Taxa price list provides useful examples of taxi fares to popular destinations including Den Gamle By, ARoS Art Museum, Moesgaard Museum, Marselisborg Palace, Tivoli Friheden, Legoland, Djurs Sommerland and Ree Safari Park. The sign also lists private driver-guide rates for passengers who want to hire a taxi by the hour.
Aarhus Taxi Prices for Cruise Passengers
The photographed Aarhus Taxa sign lists destination fares in both Danish kroner (DKK) and euros.
It specifically states that all listed prices apply for up to four people traveling in one taxi.
The destination prices shown are:
- Den Gamle By / The Old Town – 150 DKK / €21
- Tivoli Friheden – 150 DKK / €21
- ARoS Art Museum – 150 DKK / €21
- Moesgaard Museum – 270 DKK / €37

- Himmelbjerget – 850 DKK / €115
- Legoland – 1,650 DKK / €222
- Randers Regnskov / Randers Rainforest – 800 DKK / €108
- Djurs Sommerland – 900 DKK / €121
- Ree Safari Park – 1,000 DKK / €135
- The Infinite Bridge – 160 DKK / €22
- Marselisborg Deer Park – 160 DKK / €22
These prices are taken directly from the photographed taxi sign. Taxi fares can change, so passengers should confirm the current price before beginning their trip.
Are the Taxi Prices Per Person?
No. According to the sign, the listed prices apply to four people traveling together in one taxi.
That can make a taxi particularly attractive for couples, families and small groups.
For example, the posted €21 fare to Den Gamle By would work out to approximately €5.25 per person when split among four passengers.
The same applies to the other destination fares shown on the sign.
Taxi to Den Gamle By – The Old Town
The posted taxi price to Den Gamle By is:
- 150 DKK
- €21
Den Gamle By is one of Aarhus’ major attractions and an especially strong choice for cruise passengers interested in Danish history.
The open-air museum recreates Danish urban life across several periods, with historic buildings, shops, homes and exhibitions.
In 2026, Den Gamle By was named European Museum of the Year.
For cruise passengers with only one day in Aarhus, it is one of the city’s most substantial sightseeing options.
Taxi to ARoS Aarhus Art Museum
The photographed sign lists the fare to ARoS at:
- 150 DKK
- €21
ARoS is Aarhus’ major international art museum and one of the best-known attractions in the city.
Its most recognizable feature is Your rainbow panorama, the circular colored-glass artwork above the museum that provides changing views over Aarhus.
Because ARoS is located in central Aarhus, it can also be combined with other downtown attractions during a port day.
Taxi to Tivoli Friheden
The posted taxi fare to Tivoli Friheden is:
- 150 DKK
- €21
Tivoli Friheden is an amusement park located near central Aarhus in the Marselisborg area.
The park features rides and family attractions, making it an option for cruise passengers traveling with children or anyone looking for something different from museums and historic sightseeing.
Operating days and hours vary seasonally, so passengers planning a visit should check the schedule for their port date.
Taxi to Moesgaard Museum
The sign lists a taxi to Moesgaard Museum at:
- 270 DKK
- €37
Moesgaard Museum is located south of central Aarhus and focuses on archaeology, prehistory and anthropology.
The museum is particularly well known for the Grauballe Man, an exceptionally well-preserved bog body.
Because Moesgaard is farther from the cruise port than the major downtown attractions, a taxi can be particularly useful for passengers trying to maximize a limited port day.
Taxi to Marselisborg Palace
The photographed taxi price to Marselisborg Palace is:
- 150 DKK
- €21
Marselisborg Palace is associated with the Danish royal family and sits within a park area south of central Aarhus.
The palace itself is not simply a conventional tourist attraction that visitors can assume will always be open for interior touring. Access to the surrounding grounds can depend on whether the royal family is in residence.
Cruise passengers interested in the area should check conditions for the day of their visit.
Taxi to Aarhus Cathedral
The posted fare to Aarhus Cathedral is:
- 120 DKK
- €17
Aarhus Cathedral is located in the historic center of the city and is one of Aarhus’ major landmarks.
The cathedral is both one of Denmark’s oldest cathedrals and the country’s longest church.
Because of its central location, visitors can easily combine the cathedral with a walk through downtown Aarhus rather than treating it as an isolated attraction.
Taxi to The Infinite Bridge
The sign lists the fare to Den Uendelige Bro, or The Infinite Bridge, at:
- 160 DKK
- €22
The Infinite Bridge is a circular wooden structure extending over the water near Ballehage Beach.
Rather than leading from one destination to another, the bridge forms a continuous circle, creating a distinctive waterfront walking experience.
It is one of the more unusual attractions listed on the taxi board.
Taxi to Marselisborg Deer Park
The posted taxi price to Marselisborg Deer Park is:
- 160 DKK
- €22
Marselisborg Deer Park provides a nature-focused alternative to Aarhus’ museums and city attractions.
The park is located in the Marselisborg forests south of central Aarhus.
Passengers considering a visit should allow enough time for both transportation and walking through the area before returning to the cruise ship.
Taxi to Ebeltoft
The sign lists a considerably higher fare for Ebeltoft:
- 1,000 DKK
- €135
Ebeltoft is outside Aarhus itself, making this a much longer journey than taking a taxi to the city’s central attractions.
Cruise passengers considering destinations this far from the ship need to pay particular attention to their all-aboard time and return transportation.
Taxi to Himmelbjerget
The posted fare to Himmelbjerget is:
- 850 DKK
- €115
Himmelbjerget is another destination well outside central Aarhus.
At this distance, passengers should treat the trip more like an independent shore excursion than a quick taxi ride from the cruise terminal.
Taxi From Aarhus to Legoland
The most expensive destination fare shown on the board is Legoland:
- 1,650 DKK
- €222
Legoland Billund is far outside Aarhus, explaining the substantially higher fare.
While a taxi makes the journey possible, cruise passengers would need to consider the total transportation cost, attraction time and distance from the ship.
For a port day, the ship’s all-aboard time should always determine whether a long-distance independent trip is realistic.
Taxi to Randers Rainforest
The posted price to Randers Regnskov, or Randers Rainforest, is:
- 800 DKK
- €108
Randers Rainforest is an indoor tropical zoo attraction in Randers.
Because it is outside Aarhus, passengers should allow considerably more travel time than they would for downtown sightseeing.
Taxi to Djurs Sommerland
The photographed fare to Djurs Sommerland is:
- 900 DKK
- €121
Djurs Sommerland is a large amusement park in the Aarhus region.
It is much farther from the cruise port than attractions such as ARoS or Den Gamle By, so passengers considering it should plan the entire port day around transportation and the ship’s departure schedule.
Taxi to Ree Safari Park
The taxi sign lists Ree Safari Park at:
- 1,000 DKK
- €135
Ree Safari Park is another regional attraction requiring a significant drive from Aarhus.
For destinations at this distance, hiring a driver for a planned round trip may be more practical than relying on finding a taxi for the return journey.
Aarhus Private Taxi Tour Prices
The photographed sign also advertises taxis with private driver-guides.
One option allows passengers to hire a taxi for a set number of hours while the taxi drives through Aarhus and waits while passengers explore the city.
The listed prices are:
- 1 hour – 600 DKK / €81
- 2 hours – 1,100 DKK / €148
- 3 hours – 1,550 DKK / €209
- 4 hours – 2,000 DKK / €269
This could be useful for passengers who want a flexible private sightseeing experience rather than following a fixed cruise line shore excursion.
Hourly Private Driver-Guide for Longer Trips
A second option on the sign advertises hourly taxi rental with a private driver-guide for passengers who want to travel where they choose on a round trip.
The sign specifies a minimum rental of two hours.
Prices shown are:
- 2 hours – 1,700 DKK / €229
- 3 hours – 2,300 DKK / €309
- 4 hours – 2,900 DKK / €390
- 5 hours – 3,400 DKK / €457
This option appears designed for longer customized journeys rather than sightseeing exclusively within central Aarhus.
Private Taxi Tour vs. Cruise Shore Excursion
For a group of several passengers, the private taxi rates can be worth comparing with cruise line shore excursion prices.
A private taxi provides more control over:
- Which attractions you visit
- How long you stay
- The order of your stops
- When you return to the ship
A cruise line excursion, however, provides a structured itinerary and transportation organized specifically around the ship’s port call.
Passengers choosing independent transportation should always leave a comfortable margin before all-aboard time, particularly when visiting attractions well outside Aarhus.
Can You Pay by Credit Card?
Yes, according to the photographed sign.
Aarhus Taxa displays acceptance of:
- Mastercard
- Visa
- American Express
The sign also provides a customer service telephone number of +45 8948 4848.
Is Aarhus Easy to Explore From a Cruise Ship?
Aarhus is particularly convenient for cruise visitors because many of its major city attractions are relatively close to the port.
VisitAarhus specifically promotes the city as a cruise destination where many experiences are within walking distance of the cruise port.
Popular central attractions include:
- Aarhus Cathedral
- ARoS Aarhus Art Museum
- Den Gamle By
- Downtown shopping and restaurants
- Waterfront areas
- Museums and cultural attractions
That means a taxi is not necessary for every passenger.
For travelers who enjoy walking and want to concentrate on central Aarhus, exploring independently on foot can be a practical option.
Taxis become more useful for destinations such as Moesgaard Museum, the Marselisborg area or attractions outside the city.
Planning an Independent Aarhus Cruise Port Day
The destination list on the taxi sign illustrates how many different types of port days are possible from Aarhus.
History enthusiasts might combine Den Gamle By with Aarhus Cathedral.
Art lovers can make ARoS the centerpiece of their visit.
Passengers interested in archaeology can head to Moesgaard Museum, while families may consider Tivoli Friheden.
The farther regional destinations require more planning. Ebeltoft, Legoland, Djurs Sommerland, Ree Safari Park and Himmelbjerget should not be treated like quick trips into downtown Aarhus.
When planning any independent shore excursion, work backward from the ship’s all-aboard time and leave additional time for unexpected traffic or transportation delays.

Conclusion
The Aarhus taxi price list provides cruise passengers with a useful look at the cost of exploring Denmark’s second-largest city independently.
The photographed fares range from 120 DKK (€17) for Aarhus Cathedral to 270 DKK (€37) for Moesgaard Museum among the closer attractions, while longer trips such as Legoland, Ebeltoft and Ree Safari Park cost substantially more.
For groups of up to four people, the posted destination fares can become especially attractive when divided among the passengers. Aarhus Taxa also advertises private driver-guide options for travelers who prefer to create their own shore excursion.
Most importantly, passengers do not necessarily need transportation for an entire Aarhus port day. Many of the city’s major attractions are concentrated relatively close to the cruise port, while taxis provide a convenient way to reach sights farther from the center.
