Welcome to a truly special place in Denmark.
A place where the fjord cuts deep into the land, where forests rise gently over rolling hills, and where culture, nature, food, and history do not stand apart – but are woven together.
In the heart of Jutland, you can look forward to it all: family experiences that bring you closer. Quiet moments overlooking the water. Hikes through beech forests just coming into leaf. Open heathlands in central Jutland, where the horizon feels a little wider and the pace a little slower.
Here, you will find diverse landscapes, art and design as part of everyday life, flavourful breaks made with local ingredients, and stories you can step right into. There is space for reflection. And for momentum, whenever you feel the urge. It is easy to be here. And hard to leave.
Welcome to the Heart of Jutland.

In Billund, you can travel far – from open heathlands and quiet trails to stories that have left their mark far beyond Denmark’s borders. It is here that a business adventure began, one now known by almost the entire world. And it is here that you can explore the story of Denmark itself.
Experience art, feel a touch of nostalgia, taste the local flavours, and discover how a small town in central Jutland gained a name that travelled the globe. Read more about what you can experience with your family at LEGOLAND® Billund Resort here.

In Kolding, Jutland’s last royal castle, Koldinghus, rises above the city – its walls holding centuries of stories. Right beside it stands Staldgården, once the castle’s stables and today a place where the region’s history is gathered and shared.
Here, culture, creativity, and art meet in the streets and along the fjord. And just a short journey away lies Christiansfeld, where the town’s distinctive architecture and famous honey cakes have earned it a place on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

Here, you will find history in Jelling, nature in the river valleys, and striking architecture along the fjord. The city brings together the best of many worlds – from green hills and forest trails to shopping streets, dining spots, and places to stay with a view.
You can slow the pace and let the landscape do the work.
Or turn up the tempo and fill your day with experiences.
