The wonder-filled North Jutland

Reaching up into the sea towards the rest of Scandinavia, North Jutland is distinctly wild and remote. The region is actually an island, separated from mainland Denmark by the picturesque Limfjord. Don't just take our word for it; the New York Times recently named Aalborg and Thy as two of their 52 places to go – so why not explore and see for yourself what makes it so special? 

Meet Kjeld, an ordinary Dane from the rugged North of Denmark with an extraordinary job to do. In 2019 the local bricklayer was given the mighty job of moving one of Denmark's biggest wonders; the lighthouse at Rubjerg Knude.

Our food scene doesn't start and end with Copenhagen. Thankfully, our talent with food spreads over all of Denmark. Local delights like whisky distilled in Thy, sustainable dining hotspots in Aalborg and, of course, oysters and exquisite seafood are nestled all around North Jutland – see Forbes' take on their favourites here. You'll need to build up your appetite, so we've gathered the biggest attractions and the most unique sights in this dynamic region to entice you here too!

We love Skagen! Slow sunsets over creamy yellow cottages. A light that’s inspired artists throughout the centuries. And most uniquely of all, the seaside town of Skagen is one of the only places in the world where you can physically see two seas collide. That being said, you don't get more Danish than a seaside or beach hotel. Authentic, cosy and always in the most beautiful locations.
