Horsens, Denmark

Capital City

With a population of just 64,418, Horsens is a small Danish city that lacks the bustling, global appeal of Copenhagen. The tax burden is heavy, and bureaucracy is a persistent headache for newcomers. However, Horsens does offer a lively cultural scene, hosting over 200 events annually at the Horsens New Theatre - from major musical acts to an annual medieval festival. For those seeking a quieter, provincial lifestyle in Denmark, Horsens may be worth considering, but it's hardly the dynamic metropolis that some expats crave.
