Aarhus
What are the most challenging aspects of the new culture?
Expats in Aarhus often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. Danish is the official language of Denmark, and while many Danes are able to speak English, it can be difficult for expats to fully integrate into the local culture without a good understanding of the language. Additionally, the Danish culture is known for its reserved and formal nature, which can be difficult for expats to adjust to. Finally, the cost of living in Aarhus is relatively high, which can be a challenge for expats who are not used to the local prices.
