The bathing establishment Den Permanente

Den Permanente is one of Aarhus' best and most popular beaches and a sea bath consisting of one large common area with changing rooms, toilets and taps - and not far from the city centre. In the summer, you have access to a completely renovated, but lovely old-fashioned bathing centre.

A beach gem close to the city centre

Den Permanente Badeanstalt is just a short bike ride from Aarhus city centre, and here you can experience one of the city's most beloved beaches. The beach is known for its clean sand and clear water, making it ideal for a dip on hot summer days.

Newly renovated bathing centre

In 2024, Den Permanente offers a newly renovated bathing centre that combines modern facilities with nostalgic charm. Here you'll find changing rooms, showers and other essentials for a comfortable beach day.

Perfect in summer and winter

Whether you want to swim, sunbathe or just enjoy the view of Aarhus Ø and the city centre, Den Permanente is the place for you. The beach offers tranquil surroundings and is popular with locals and tourists alike.

During the summer period, Den Permanente is open from the beginning of June to the end of August between 06:00-19:00. During the school summer holidays, the TrygFonden lifeguard is at Den Permanente between 10.00-18.00.

Den Permanente was expanded in 2024 with a north and south wing. The north wing, also known as the North Pool, is open all year round Monday-Sunday from 7.30-18.30. The south wing (Sydbadet) is closed to the public but open to winter swimmers from the Vikingeklubben Jomsborg association from September to May.
