If your preference is for a location in the countryside you can find perfect peace and quiet at, for example, the ’Fuglsøcentret’ conference centre at the foot of the beautiful rolling hills of ‘Mols Bjerge’.
Explore Århus and East Jutland Århus is situated in the middle of the beautiful East Jutland area in the heart of Denmark.

”I was surprised by all the possibilities which the Århus area has to offer. I had always thought that Copenhagen had much more to offer, but I have to admit that Århus and East Jutland has just as much - for example - riding as a back-seat passenger on a Harley Davidson through Djursland and the beautiful rolling hills of the ‘Mols Bjerge’; a celebration in The Old Town, or at the ‘Turbinehallen’ event location, or at the Varna mansion, and so on and so on. In Århus and East Jutland, the only limits are set by your imagination.” Maria Rosenlind, Capgemini
