Bookstore
Spartakus was founded in 1975 by a group of communist students. Their goal was to create a place where locals could learn more about culture through books and music. More than 40 years later, Jutland’s oldest communist bookstore still features a great collection of books, CDs and posters attracting all kinds of bookworms. It’s located in the Latin Quarter, so if you’re strolling around this picturesque neighbourhood make sure to stop by and indulge in a warm cup of coffee while discovering the English section.
