The Salling Tower
The new viewing tower and landmark on the harbour of Aarhus Ø, The Salling Tower, is shaped as a dramatic urban sculpture with a significant architectural expression. The white body of steel is a luminous and distinctive focal point and meeting place.

Finally, the covered upper plateau provides a 360 degree overlook of the city and the harbour.
