Denmark is a lovely place to live. I’m originally from the Netherlands and moved to Denmark many years ago. From what you’re saying I wouldn’t immediately rule out Fyn or Sjælland. Both are very accessable when it comes to traveling to the rest of Europe. Maybe Sjælland a bit less, due to expensive bridge. When it comes to Fyn it doesn’t matter time or money wise whether you are in Odense or Aarhus. How big of a city do you want? Denmark isn’t that densely populated (especially Jutland and Fyn) compared to many other countries in Europe or the UK. So what Danes might call for a city might be considered a large town or small city in other countries. Aarhus has a really nice larger city vibe, without it feeling crowded. Odense also still feels like a bigger city, but not as big as Aarhus. If you want to go smaller I really like Vejle. It’s build in a valley, which makes it really beautiful, but it’s not as big as the other cities.

Personally I would maybe use 2-3 weeks and spend a couple of days in all the major cities and a couple of smaller ones. Rent some bikes, use public transport, just explore so you can feel the vibe of the city.

Remember that even though most Danes are fluent in English, not knowing Danish can make it really tough to find a job. This also depends on your field of course. It’s definitely easier to find something in Copenhagen or maybe Aarhus. Odense will already be tougher and the smaller you go the tougher it gets.

They are building a tunnel from Sjælland to Germany, which definitely makes the rest of Europe more accessible in the future, so I wouldn’t just immediately write off Copenhagen
