River Boulevard is both a street and a promenade that runs along the Aarhus River. The street runs east to west from Vester Alle to Europaplads. At 975 meters (nearly 3200 feet) long, it is a popular thoroughfare used by pedestrians.
The history of River Boulevard dates to 1477. King Christian I allowed the development of the area near the river. Homes were built and later, in 1674, the alley that ran along the street was widened. River Boulevard itself was built in stages from 1898 to 1934.
A portion of the Aarhus River was briefly paved to provide room for a wider street and parking. Work to uncover the river began in 2005 and was completed in 2015. A new recreational space was created to celebrate the reopening of the river.
The eastern area of River Boulevard is the most popular for locals and visitors. This section of River Boulevard has a large number of bars and cafes with outdoor seating.
