Immervad, previously Emmervad, is a pedestrian street in Aarhus, Denmark, which runs north to south from Lille Torv to Åboulevarden and Frederiksgade. The alley Sankt Clemens Stræde leads to Immervad from the east. The street is situated in the historic Latin Quarter neighborhood and has existed as a road or street since the Viking Age when it was used as the eastern ford to cross the Aarhus River.[1] Immervad is fairly short at just 110 meters long but it is one of the streets with the most foot traffic in Aarhus.[2] At the southern section of the street is the bridge of Frederiksbroen, the first bridge built to cross the river in the city.[3]
Immervad is home to Magasin du Nord, one of the largest department stores in Aarhus, and runs next to the recreational space of Vadestedet (The Ford) on the street of Åboulevarden which runs perpendicular to the southern end of Immervad.

Ligesom åens munding (ar-os) har givet byen sit navn, har vadestedet over Aen i forbindelse med å-havnen været præget af den ældste bydannelse."
