Your Rainbow Panorama

Getting around: On the roof of the ARoS museum in central Aarhus, a short walk from the harbor and train station.
Hours: Follows ARoS museum hours: closed Mondays, open Tuesday to Sunday roughly 10:00-17:00, with later opening Wednesdays. Access requires a museum ticket.

Your Rainbow Panorama is Olafur Eliasson's circular glass walkway encircling the roof of the ARoS museum, its panels running through the full color spectrum so that the view of Aarhus below shifts color as you walk the loop. It's become one of the most recognizable images associated with the city.

It's included with ARoS admission rather than a separate ticket, so it's really an extension of the museum visit rather than a standalone stop — worth timing for good light or sunset if photography is a priority.

The colored ring is visible from the street and around the city, though the walkway experience itself requires museum entry.
