    From the heart of downtown Horsens, it’s an easy 10–15-minute walk toward the harbor district; the park’s broad lawns, mature trees, and waterfront promenade are visible as you approach the edge of the fjord. The central library and city hall are natural orientation points nearby, and shady paths invite you in from the bustle of the main streets.

  • Public Transport

    Local city buses frequently connect the main station area with the waterfront, making stops within a short stroll of the park. A single adult ticket typically costs DKK 22–24. The route offers glimpses of both historic and modern Horsens before you alight near the harbor promenade.

  • Taxi

  • Driving

Stretching gracefully along the southern edge of Horsens’ city center, Langelinieanlægget is the city’s historic waterfront park, designed as a green oasis for locals and visitors alike. Its origins date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when city dwellers craved recreational spaces beside the fjord. Today, Langelinieanlægget blends sculpted gardens, dense clusters of old trees, flower beds, and open lawns, framed by the gentle movement of yachts and fishing boats along the water. Through spring and summer, the park brims with outdoor concerts, casual barbecues at public grills, and families enjoying the children’s playground or feeding ducks along the little inlets. Many benches provide ideal resting spots where you can soak up wide views across the fjord and city skyline. Winding footpaths encourage leisurely strolls, and cyclists pedal quietly on their way to the marina. The venue hosts civic festivals and fireworks from time to time and is close to the Horsens Art Museum and Forum Horsens, making it a perfect starting point or restful ending for a day of urban exploration. A highlight is the calm and inclusive atmosphere: Langelinieanlægget functions both as Horsens’ living room and its lungs, inviting picnics, solo reading, quiet moments, and the occasional wedding. Public toilets, accessible paths, and regular community events ensure comfort and inclusiveness. Best of all, entry and facilities remain free and open year-round, making it a popular favorite no matter how short your visit to Horsens.
