Start your winter in the heart of Jutland

Winter in Billund 

Winter in Billund is a season for connection, imagination and experiences – both indoors and out in nature. Known around the world as the Home of the Brick, this is where creativity comes to life. At LEGOLAND® and LEGO® House, experiences await that bring generations together – full of colour, wonder and warmth, even on the coldest days.

While Billund’s town life is peaceful, you’ll find cosy cafés, small shops and quiet corners perfect for a winter pause. And when darkness falls, you can settle in at Billund Airport Hotel or one of the town’s many inviting places to stay.

Just a short drive away lies Grindsted, where you can explore the winter landscape around Engsøen or take a walk through the town’s charming centre. At MARK | Museum of a New Danish History, stories are told that connect past and present – and at Karensminde, the museum’s historical farm, winter slows everything down between stables, fields and old traditions.

Looking for more culture? Visit Vorbasse Church or Grindsted Church – both home to beautiful architecture and living examples of Denmark’s cultural heritage.

Winter in Kolding

Kolding in winter is a thoughtful blend of history, nature and vibrant cultural experiences. Once a medieval border town, the city is still crowned by Koldinghus, where royal architecture meets exhibitions that speak to the present day. Just outside the centre, Trapholt showcases art and design in striking winter light, and at Geographical Garden, the paths remain open – inviting you to explore nature and seasonal activities.

The town centre settles into its own calm during the colder months – but the cafés stay open, and the shops welcome you in from the cold. When the day draws to a close, you’ll find places to stay like Comwell Kolding, Scandic Kolding or Kolding Hotel Apartments, all close to both city life and scenic views.

In the surrounding area, winter experiences unfold like pearls in the mist. Visit Christiansfeld, the UNESCO-listed Moravian town, where the symmetry and simplicity still reflect the values of its founders. Walk along Skamlingsbanken, where the view across Lillebælt becomes even clearer on crisp winter days. Stop by Staldgården, where local exhibitions share the stories of the region. Or seek out Tyrstrup Church, a quiet and somewhat hidden gem from the 13th century – still standing in its original place, still full of peace.

Winter in Vejle

Winter in Vejle is a quiet blend of nature, architecture, history and gastronomy. Take a walk through the crisp winter light in Vejle Ådal and Grejsdalen, where the valleys open up and the landscape feels deeper, more present. Discover the city’s iconic landmarks like Bølgen and Fjordenhus, reflected in the still waters of the fjord – and treat yourself to an evening at LYST, the acclaimed Michelin-starred restaurant where every dish tells a story.

Just beyond the city, the land opens even more. On Randbøl Hede and in Frederikshåb Plantage, you can feel the wind in your face and the raw beauty of winter all around. Don’t miss Kongernes Jelling – Denmark’s birth certificate – where rune stones, exhibitions and a sculpted landscape tell the story of the Viking kings and the place where Denmark began.

For warmth and flavour, visit Fary Lochan Distillery, where smoke, oak and craftsmanship come together in whisky and gin of world-class quality. And step into another time at the nostalgic Bindeballe Købmandsgård, a historic merchant’s store where shelves are lined with stories and tradition still lingers in the air.

As the day winds down, rest with a view of the forest or the fjord – at Hotel Munkebjerg, Milling Hotels Vejle, or the international Four Points Flex by Sheraton.

Winter in Fredericia

Winter in Fredericia is a journey through time, nature and presence. Founded as a fortress town in 1650, it’s a place where the past lingers in the silence. Walking along the town’s well-preserved ramparts, it’s said that even Hans Christian Andersen was moved to tears as he passed through Kongens Port – perhaps you’ll feel the same?

Within the old ramparts, the town unfolds with historic merchant’s houses and narrow streets that speak of maritime trade and proud craftsmanship. Take a walk down Gothersgade and towards The Old Harbour, where past and present meet by the waterfront. Here you’ll also find Ti Trin Ned, the city’s Michelin-starred restaurant, where local, seasonal ingredients are transformed into dishes that are both deeply flavourful and beautifully subtle – perfect for a winter evening.

Culture thrives here too. At Det Bruunske Pakhus, you can enjoy concerts and events in an intimate, welcoming setting. And in Trinitatis Church, architecture and acoustics offer a quiet space to reflect. For families, Madsby Legepark is open all year – with animals, play areas and peaceful trails where you can stroll with a hot cocoa in hand.

Just outside the city lies Trelde Næs, where forest, sea and dramatic cliffs shape a unique winter landscape. The air feels fresher here, and the views over Lillebælt offer clarity – whether you come to walk, reflect, or simply pause for a moment.
