Places of Interest in Kolding
Taking a little trip to the small town of Christiansfeld will certainly not disappoint. The beautiful architecture is very different from traditional Danish buildings. The layout of the streets, the church square and the many lime trees that lead the way are all a form of precision crafted to perfection. If you don’t want to wander outside the city, then Kolding city centre has plenty for you to do after you get off your FlixBus!

If you are interested in a more relaxing trip, you can wander through the many shopping streets, or grab a coffee in one of the highly-acclaimed cafes.

Have no worries as you settle down to a massage that takes care of your body and soul.
Culture and History of Kolding
The castle of Koldinghus is a sight that must be seen. Originally built in 1268, this castle played a key role in the history of Kolding. The castle was involved in many battles, and in the 16th century, it was rebuilt as a Renaissance castle. Many artefacts and original objects have been preserved from as far back as the 1400s. This incredible attraction sits right in the middle of Kolding city.
If culture is more your scene, you should check out the art museum at Trapholt.
