Aarhus Central Station is the main rail hub of Aarhus in Denmark. The first station opened on 2 September 1862 as the southern end of the Aarhus to Randers line. A second station was built in 1884 in the Neo-Renaissance style by Thomas Arboe and William August Thulstrup.
The present station was built in 1927 by Knud Tanggaard Seest, the architect for the Danish State Railways, as part of a plan for the whole station area. It has four platforms and eight tracks, and about 6.3 million people use it each year. It is the busiest station in Denmark outside the Copenhagen area.
Bruun's Galleri, a three-story shopping center with 93 stores, stands beside it. The first line of the Aarhus Light Rail opened from the station in December 2017.
