Best city on the mainland? (leddit.danmark.party)

Hi, apologies if this is not the best place to ask, but partner and I are looking at visiting Denmark with a view to moving permanently. Where would you say is the best city to visit/move to on the Jutland peninsula?

Currently in the UK and getting off of an island is why we're not looking at Fyn or Sjælland.

Thank you!

There's just one caveat to that.... Most planes depart from Kastrup Airport - just outside Copenhagen. There ARE flights from Tirstrup, Billund and Aalborg etc in Jylland, but it's less and with fewer destinations.

So settling in Jylland to avoid bridges, might mean you have to cross bridges when you want to travel.

That's fine - we'd fly less if we were anywhere in Europe, Sjælland included. If we were going further afield, like back to the UK or to Asia, then a drive or a train to Copenhagen would be fine. But having to get a plane just to go to a random European city for a weekend instead of a train or driving is why Jutland.

I think you overestimate traveling by train in Europe. In many cases it’s not very easy or convenient, with lots of switches etc. Like for example the train connection between the UK and the Netherlands is better than between Denmark and the Netherlands.

Yes, but train connections within the UK are so poor that the UK-Netherlands connection can only reliably be said to be a London-Netherlands connection.

The rail is just an extra option - we'd also be able to take a coach (Flixbus) easier or just drive. For example, getting from Northern England to Vienna means finding an airport with suitable flights, then arranging travel around those flights, because the better ferry connections are along the south coast. From anywhere in Denmark, we have the option to fly, take a train via Hamburg, or drive.

Honestly this is not very smart IMO.

Zealand is so large that you don't notice that you're on an island and there are numerous bridges. The bridge to Sweden is right outside Copenhagen. In the West there's the bridge to Jutland. In the south there are bridges to some smaller islands and a good ferry connection to Germany. In the north west there's a ferry to Århus. You can also take the ferry to Oslo from Copenhagen. And there's on that goes to Poland I believe.

If you're dead set on Jutland, Silkeborg is quite lovely with lots of water even though it's inland, and nice natural areas right outside the city. But it's kinda provincial, but that's up to you of course.

Good luck.

Or drive to Hamburg, no bridges in that direction!
