Randers.

Randers, the lovely city on the banks of the Guden River (Gudenå).
The city is located about 35 km. north of Aarhus, Denmark’s second largest city.

The town has a population at just over 60,000 which makes it the sixth largest city in Denmark.

The two biggest tourist attractions in the city are The Rainforest and Graceland-Randers.

The Rainforest.

Here you can visit a man made rainforest, actually they have 3 of them. (Africa, Asia and South America) all 3 of them created inside domes.

There are 250 animals and 450 different plants here and it is quite an experience to be walking inside the domes. See the small monkeys jump from tree to tree and even feed them with melons if you are around at feeding time.

Most of the animals are free to range so it is quite similar to walking around in a real rainforest with temperatures at 28-30 degrees and a humidity at about 100%.

You can find Randers-Regnskov at:

Tørvebrykken 11.

Opening hours are between 10.00 and 16.00-17.00 depending on the time of year.

If you buy a ticket you will have unlimited access for the year.
