About Kolding

This small city sits at the head of Kolding Fjord in Southern Denmark. Famous for its shipbuilding and charming waters, this relatively small population has created a name for their town as a commercial, transportation and manufacturing centre. With an interesting history, and a large arts scene, this city is an extremely influential place to visit. Whether you are looking for archaic architecture, the beauty of nature, or friendly people to meet, Kolding has something for everyone.

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! For those who love nature, you can rent a bike, go fishing or simply get lost wandering through the many parks that Kolding has to offer! 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. If you’ve brought the kids with you, you have to go to SlotssøBadet leisure pool complex. The children can enjoy the pools while the adults can indulge in a highly-deserved wellness session. 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. With visual arts, design and even a historical furniture display, you are guaranteed to see something new and breath-taking. Film and theatre play an important role historically in the culture of Denmark, and today there are still many theatres in the city. If you plan ahead before your bus journey with us, you may have the opportunity to see the Dronning Dorothea Teatret. They perform 4 or 5 shows a year and are extremely popular with their work. It is a show not to be missed! No matter what you do in Kolding, you’ll realise there is a special culture and special people all around you. Simply walking around Kolding or getting a boat tour and seeing the sights, you experience the unique atmosphere that this small friendly city offers.
