Billund travel guide

Billund is a small town in West Jutland in Denmark. Despite its small size with some 7500 inhabitants, Billund is a major transport gateway, with the biggest airport in all of Jutland and it is home to the well-known LEGO company and the Legoland entertainment park.

Get in

There is no railway line to Billund, so all transportation is by road or air.

By plane

• Billund airport (BLL IATA), ☏ +45 76 50 50 50, info@bll.dk. is one of Denmark's busiest airports. The airport is served by many budget and charter airlines, there are also flights by some national carriers like British Airways, Finnair, KLM and SAS Scandinavian Airlines. Ryanair also offers flights to Billund.

By car

Billund is situated in the middle of Jutland, this means that there are roads in every direction. Usually tourists coming from other countries will drive along the E45 motorway. If you are coming from the south, drive to Kolding and continue towards Billund. If you are coming from the north or east, turn at Vejle for Billund.

By bus

The airport runs two express shuttle buses to Vejle (30 minutes, 80 DKK) and Aarhus (1½ hours, 180 DKK via Horsens & Skanderborg) several times per day. There are also direct public buses from Billund to Vejle and Grindsted (lines 244 & 907X), Kolding (406, 1 hour) and Horsens (117, 2 hours). All of these buses stop at the airport.

By train

As the train station closed in the 1950s, your only option is the train to Vejle and the bus from there (see above).
