Travel Guide 2022
The energy of a big city - charm of a small town Oh, Horsens! The former industrial- and prison city with the qualities of a big city without actually being big. Free from over crowding, a feeling of being cramped, the bustle and the stress. Rich in art, entrepreneurship, soul, gastronomy, music, green oases, and cultural life. A charming city rooted in its history. And entirely one of a kind.
Horsens has managed to utilise its past as a prison and industrial city to its advantage and, today, it offers relevant and authentic experiences to everyone who comes to visit.
Beautiful and challenging street art peeps out of the nooks and crannies of the city.
A simple walk through Horsens quickly turns into an exploration of art when the cityscape suddenly shows off colourful and surprising details. The beautiful murals in the city are found everywhere - at Horsens Art Museum, you can get a free guide to sculptures and street art which you can take with you when exploring the street art.
The newly renovated city centre invites activity and life in the streets. There is room to settle down and take in the life of the city. There are super-cosy restaurants and sidewalk cafés - both in the wide pedestrianised high street and the intimate side alleys which are steeped in atmosphere.
Horsens also attracts the energetic, outdoorsy types who like to add a little greenery to their cobblestones. The town beach of Langelinie is a good spot for a refreshing stroll, some playtime or settling down whereas the historic Bygholm Park right at the city centre is the favourite destination of many locals.
