The 10 Best Things to do in Vejle, Jutland
Perched at the head of a fjord, Vejle sits in an idyllic intersection of rivers, valleys and forested hills. During the Middle Ages Vejle was an important market town. Today it enjoys more sophisticated status, thanks to spas, shopping centers, safari parks, golf courses and upscale dining establishments. Don’t miss the Viking-age rune stones or the remains of the Iron Age “bog woman” on display inside of St. Nicolai Church.

About an hour drive from Aarhus, this is a great way to spend an afternoon feeling a real sense of place, with rune stones (carved memorials) burial mounds, remnants of a palisade and a sense of the conversion to Christianity. The museum is interesting and well designed, using high tech interactive exhibits to tell the Viking story, and gives a real sense of context to the historical site.

"Hi, have you been here before?...ok, the tour is..." that was how we where greated at the Ecolarium. It is a tour in the human ecosystem and quite fun and intelligent made. A tour in the sewers in the "underground train machine" , live rats and more. My kids where surprised by the level of fun and activities. I recommend this if you are in Vejle and have kids.

Nature around the city is wonderful. I am from a big city so I can see a real deer only in the zoo. People say that during winter deer and does sneak in the backyards and eat leaves and then return into woods.

The ground floor of this lovely building designed by artist Olafur Eliasson is open to the public. I recommend checking it out on a sunny day, so you can see how the light works with the structure of the building.

Free admission, located in an old factory building which is very fitting for the city's history and for what you're going to see in the museum. Exhibits about the city of Vejle, its working class, as well as a bit of archeological findings. Some captions are not available in English but not a big deal overall. Outside the museum in the factory building there's also an exhibition called Pap&Papir festival, also interesting to see.
