Getting There

  • Walking

    From the city center, the park is within comfortable walking distance—usually ~10 minutes on foot. The stroll takes you past central shops and cafes, guiding you naturally toward the fjord. Look for the water as your landmark; the park’s broad green spaces and tree-lined promenade will come into view as you approach the waterfront.

  • Public Transport

    City buses regularly serve routes between the central railway station and the nearby waterfront stops. Expect a short ride of around 5–10 minutes (single tickets typically 24–30 DKK). From key stops by the water, the main lawns and play areas are easily recognizable and accessible.

  • Taxi

    A taxi from Horsens’ central zone to the park is a quick journey, generally taking under 10 minutes and costing approximately 80–120 DKK depending on traffic and time of day.

  • Car/Parking

    If arriving by car, visitors will find limited nearby parking. Municipal meters are in effect, with typical rates of 10–15 DKK per hour. On busy days, spaces fill quickly, so consider alternative transport during events or peak weekends.

Discover more about Langelinieanlægget

A leafy escape where urban Horsens meets its shimmering fjord, Langelinieanlægget is both the city’s living room and its green lung. Originally developed in the late 1800s as a recreational boulevard, the park was designed to bring city dwellers closer to the calming embrace of nature, and it does so spectacularly. Mature chestnut and beech trees line the grassy avenues, offering dappled shade and making every stroll feel serene, whether you’re out for morning exercise or a romantic evening walk. The heart of the park is the long, open promenade running parallel to the water, providing unobstructed vistas of sailing boats, birdlife, and – if you’re lucky – the play of golden sunsets over the fjord. Immaculate flower beds add splashes of colour in the spring and summer, while well-kept playgrounds bring laughter and energy to the scene year-round. Bronze sculptures and memorials punctuate the lawns, adding a cultural layer to this natural retreat. Langelinieanlægget is more than just a passive escape: it’s a vibrant gathering place. Families picnic on the lawns, young people play football or volleyball, and cyclists zip by to admire the views. In summer, open-air concerts draw crowds, while quieter corners offer tranquil places to read or watch the world go by. The park’s beauty is matched by its accessibility – with broad, flat paths and several benches, it welcomes visitors of all ages and abilities, whether you’re pushing a stroller or exploring on your own. The atmosphere shifts with the seasons: in warm months, it’s a festival of life, while autumn brings a riot of colours and more contemplative quiet. With no entry fee and open access at all hours, Langelinieanlægget is a must for anyone seeking Horsens’ soul at its most relaxed, social, and scenic.
