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!

Okay, I'm done laughing. Please check the maps. There are motorway bridges connecting Jutland to Fyen, Fyen to Zealand, and Zealand to Sweden. You do realize we drive on the right side of the road, though? I would imagine that would be more of an inconvenience.

Yes, we saw the bridges. But from Sjaelland, visiting Austria or Germany or France would mean crossing to Jutland and driving south. If we're already in Jutland, we're that much closer to the border we're most likely to cross, and we can take the bridges to visit Copenhagen or Sweden. Realistically, most of our travel will be south, not east, so being closer to the Swedish border means further from our usual destinations.

Yes, I'm aware that you drive on the other side of the road. It's not as much of an inconvenience as you'd think, and less so if in a car built for that side of the road (driving in other countries is easier in a local rental than taking a UK car over, at least in my opinion)

I would really reconsider Zealand if I were you. Most Zealanders only leave the island when they are going on holiday anyway, and Denmark's largest airport is just outside Copenhagen. You mention that you would probably prefer to use trains and cars in Europe, primarily Germany, but remember to take into account that in 4-5 years the Femern tunnel will open. This means that a train journey from Copenhagen to Hamburg will come down to 2.5 hours, while the one from Aahus will still take almost 4.5 hours. I really believe that train tourism will flourish in Copenhagen and Zealand in general when Femern opens, because the Swedish trains will probably also take that route and it’s very likely that Deutsche Bahn will invest massively in the section between Copenhagen and Hamburg/Berlin.

Reading all your comments I wonder whether Denmark is actually what you’re looking for. The main theme that seems very/the most important seems to be the ability to travel in the rest of Europe. That is of course totally fair, but if that’s the most important thing you’re probably better off moving to Germany or the Netherlands. Those are much more central and give much better access to the rest of Europe. Public transport is for example much better in the Netherlands than in Denmark.

Both Germany and the Netherlands are on our list, but Denmark is higher. Of course you're completely right, and we might have to think more about other countries but we're starting with Denmark. We might visit Copenhagen and fall in love with it. We might visit and decide actually, we don't like Denmark at all. But at least we're working to a plan to start with.

Vejle, Kolding, Fredericia, Esbjerg, Aabenraa etc. Then you are closer to the border of Germany.

It depends a lot on how big a city you want. Bitter cities have expensive housing. In smaller cities you can get a good size house with a big garden next to nature for a decent amount.

If you want to be close to west/central Europe, then Ribe and Sønderborg are nice cities.

Aarhus: 2nd largest city in Denmark, have many things to offer, many jobs but also more competition, expensive housing, good public transport, close to nature.

Kolding: 8th largest city, have the biggest mall in Jutland, not much to do in the city center, many jobs in various locations in the area - many outside the city - that you can reach in 30 minutes by car, close to Billund Airport and close enough to Germany for frequent visits.
