A covered market in western Aarhus with over a hundred businesses, and the closest thing in Denmark to a genuine Middle Eastern souq. It began in 1996 in an old factory building on a simple premise: provide cheap trading space for small entrepreneurs in the largely immigrant **Gellerupparken** district. It is now the largest market of its kind in Denmark and draws thousands each week from across the country. What you find: **halal butchers**, greengrocers, spice and sweet shops, Arab, Turkish and Somali bakeries, small restaurants, fabric, gold and cosmetics shops, barbers, and money-changers. For an Arab visitor this is practical rather than a sight: **varied halal food** at reasonable prices, familiar groceries, and Arabic or Turkish spoken behind most counters. Note: **closed on Sundays**, and busiest on Saturday afternoon. The site is outside the centre — about 15 minutes by bus.
The widest choice of halal meat in the whole region.
Fresh Arab and Turkish bread, pastries and sweets.
Inexpensive home cooking, and dishes not found in the centre.
Edwin Rahrs Vej 3, Brabrand, Aarhus
**Bazar Vest** is by far the widest option: butchers, bakeries and restaurants in one place, and the destination if you want to shop or be certain of a meal. In the **city centre** there are scattered Middle Eastern and Turkish restaurants, most around **Vestergade** and near the central station, and shawarma is very widespread in Denmark generally. The large supermarkets (Bilka, Føtex) carry a limited halal section. ⚠ Always check the certificate at the counter — the word «halal» on a sign is not legally regulated in Denmark. And most restaurants here also serve alcohol, so ask if that matters to you.
