kvbfx1xThat's fair - I've made an assumption that the bridge connections would be traffic snarls because infrastructure is bad in the UK. Originally that was the reason for wanting Jutland, because of an assumption that travel to the German border would be quicker if avoiding the bridges.
From other comments though, Århus is Denmark's second city, yes? Wouldn't that mean opportunities are going to be better there, for the sake of the same travel to Hamburg but slightly worse connections to Copenhagen (when compared to Odense)?

kvc47kfCrossing the Lillebælt bridge on weekends is most of the time completely hassle free. And honestly even on weekdays at times of heavier traffic, it's usually not that bad at all. Us Danes like to complain about traffic but comparing it to much larger countries, it's barely non-existent. Which may be an exaggeration, but if you're coming from a larger city or urban area, you'll probably find the traffic in most of Denmark to be much easier to deal with.
I'm not sure what you mean about opportunities, but yes Århus is bigger and therefore of course more culturally interesting than Odense. Housing wise the price difference is fairly big though.

kvblogwThe connections to Hamburg (and the rest of mainland Europe) are actually better from Odense (both in car and by train) compared to Aarhus. The trains from Copenhagen to Germany all passes through Odense, abd therefore Odense is very well-connected. However, Aarhus is a larger city, and will have more of a Copenhagen-vibe compared to Odense.

kvblyw3Thank you - from the comments it looks like Århus, Odense and Copenhagen need a visit.

kvbmtinThey are all very nice cities!

kvcjsuuOdense will soon be less well-connected to Germany though, since the trains from Copenhagen will all move to the new Femern tunnel in a few years.
Once that happens, Copenhagen will be better connected to Germany than Aarhus, though it will obviously cost more to to ge there by either car or train due to the tunnel.
