I am born and raised on Zealand and refuses to move, but I do envy how cheap Jutland is in comparison

Vejle or Kolding might be an idea since they‘re centrally located and not too far from Billund Airport and the German border.

Århus is very expensive. Silkeborg is very nice and not far from Århus.

That's really hard to say since it depends on your profession and where you can find jobs. But the second city of Denmark by far is Aarhus and that's on the east coast of Jutland.

We have bridges you know.

I know, it's just a preference. Even being on Sjælland would make travel easy compared to the UK

You can easily move to Fyn or Sjælland too. There are bridges between the Sjælland, Fyn and Jylland, and although the bridge over Storebælt costs money to cross, the bridge between Fyn and Jylland is free.

Yes, we looked at Sjælland too but we'd realistically travel more by train or car through Germany, if we're not flying. Being on Jutland would save us just that little bit extra time and traffic.

It takes roughly the same time to go from Odense to Padborg as it does from Aarhus. Even about 25 min shorter by Google Maps estimate. And that is by both train and car.
Fun fact: There is a direct train from Odense to Hamburg.

Be aware of job opportunities in Aarhus are not that good in many fields, where neighboring city/towns of Randers, Horsens, Vejle and Kolding often can provide better job opportunities and lower housing prices. All of these have Train connection to Aarhus, Copenhagen and most have direct Trains to Hamburg. They also have direct connection to Aalborg Airport, Copenhagen Airport and in Hamburg you just shift to the underground to the airport. Aalborg is also an underrated city with good opportunities, especially if you have an engineering background.

ITT a bunch of people on sjælland being very sad about someone not wanting to move to their god forsaken island.

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.

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.

That's fair, but we'd like to move before then and it would make more sense (I think) to live in Jutland until the tunnel opens, assuming it does have the benefits you mention.
If everything goes to plan, it would be much easier to move from somewhere like Århus to Copenhagen than straight to Copenhagen.

I'm from Jutland myself, but I do think your rationale for not wanting to live on an island is a bit strange... It's not like you can even tell that you're on an island when you're walking around Copenhagen or elsewhere in Sjælland/Fyn, and both are connected to the mainland by bridges. If you want to get really technical about it, all of Jutland is an island too since the Kiel Canal in northern Germany forms a waterway that connects the Baltic and North Sea, and cuts off Jutland from the rest of Europe.
Giving-In-778 (OP) at 2024-03-17 17:06:22+00:00 ID: kvayjv3
It's not that we have a particular hatred for islands, just the best way I could think of for explaining not looking at e.g. Sjælland. If we do move, it'll be to travel Europe more, so having that much less to travel to get through Germany would be the point of picking Jutland.
ridderulykke at 2024-03-17 17:53:31+00:00 ID: kvb6r67
Then Sjælland is maybe still an option for you if this move would first be in a few years. The Fehmarn tunnel connection between Lolland and Germany is set to open by 2029.

There are no cities on the mainland.

Copenhagen is barely a city.
Giving-In-778 (OP) at 2024-03-17 17:07:55+00:00 ID: kvaytk3
Interesting, why would you say so? Is it missing something you would expect in a city or is this just banter?

Jutland, as a peninsula, feels quite like an island in most aspects, not sure what exactly you are looking for. Anyway Sjælland/Copenhagen is connected with bridges to quite a bit. In the future there will be a tunnel to germany, so in many ways it can be more connected than Jutland.
If you want to be able to quickly get to other countries, then either live in Copenhagen where there is an airport, and train to Sweden, and germany in the future. Copenhagen also has the most job opportunities. In Jutland you could live near Aarhus or Trekantsområdet.
Overall you should probably look at Aarhus first.

Thank you, that's perfect. Cost aside, driving through Germany is the main reason for looking at Jutland, where we'd save the extra time crossing Fyn. We'd probably take a train to Copenhagen/Hamburg for flights or international rail, but we'd take less flights overall not living in Britain.

Ry is a town near Aarhus. Its very Nice here. Lots of nature, lakes and forrests

Århus in general sounds better and better! 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.
Giving-In-778 (OP) at 2024-03-17 18:24:14+00:00 ID: kvbc8ch
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)
snarkybat at 2024-03-17 16:52:23+00:00 ID: kvaw644
Århus is probably your best bet for Jylland, but if I may ask, why specifically no island?
