Best Cities in Denmark to Meet Beautiful Danish Women (Besides Copenhagen)

Beautiful Danish women aren’t just waiting around in Copenhagen. While most foreigners flock to the capital in search of their Scandinavian dream girl, I’ve discovered seven alternative cities: the best cities in Denmark to meet beautiful Danish women… besides Copenhagen.

Check out these off-the-grid destinations to meet some gorgeous Danish girls, but also places where you would get to experience Denmark the way a native does.

Aarhus

The central Denmark city of Aarhus is known for being the oldest in the country (established back in Viking times) and also for its epic student parties.

The University of Aarhus, Denmark’s largest and a highly respected institution, draws in over 40,000 students from across the country and the world.

This means that younger crowds are present here, and young Danish people are extremely open-minded, just like they are everywhere in the world. But the girls here really know how to live their life!

Aarhus is also known to have one of the best live music scenes in the country (if not in Europe as a whole). It has always had an incredibly young population, hence it has also always been the center of new and exciting music.

From jazz clubs that have been popular since the 1950s to rock and metal venues that took off in the ’70s and ’80s, there’s something for every music lover. Festivals like NorthSide and SPOT are the highlights each year, with many smaller ones offering fantastic opportunities to mingle with the beautiful Danish women.

Some places where you can meet locals:

• Train: A popular nightclub known for its diverse music and energetic crowd. (Check it out on Google Maps here)
• VoxHall: A live music venue hosting a variety of concerts. (Check it out on Google Maps here)
• Latinerkvarteret (Latin Quarter): A charming area with cafes and bars perfect for your daytime game.

PS: If everything else fails, you can always go online to meet Danish girls. Read my article about the best dating websites in Scandinavia for some lesser-known options.

Horsens

Although Horsens is significantly smaller than Aarhus, you can almost say there is more happening there. Aarhus would be the center for Danish music and culture, while Horsens is where all the international performers go.

The Horsens New Theater has welcomed Madonna, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Robbie Williams and so many more. Needless to say, the party doesn’t stop even when there are no big name celebrities coming in.

The local population loves to party, and you’ll find plenty of beautiful Danish women enjoying the lively atmosphere.

Horsens also caters to niche interests with events like the Krimimessen, an annual crime literature festival that attracts famous authors and enthusiasts. And those nerdy girls are perfect for a relationship – they’re smart, cute and, if everything else fails, they can at least recommend a good book.

Finally, let’s talk about the Medieval festival! Yes, it might sound like that middle school even that nobody wanted to participate in, but Horsens’ Medieval festival is not an event you should miss.

People take dressing up really seriously but also drinking and partying (with little of the Medieval morals involved in the latter). The atmosphere is really fun plus you get to learn a thing or two about Danish culture, which is always a good thing when traveling.

Some places where you can meet local girls:

• Kulisselageret: A live music venue with an intimate setting. (Google Maps)
• Horsens Art Museum: For a cultural twist and if you’re looking for some truly sophisticated Danish women.

Aalborg

Aalborg is Denmark’s fourth biggest city and a large part of that population is, you guessed it, university students.

There are more than 17,000 students enrolled in the Aalborg university and there are several smaller colleges as well (well, relatively smaller anyway). Aalborg is truly a city that never sleeps. Even outside the school year, there are a bunch of festivals that attract people this way. You will not be bored.

The Aalborg Carnival in May is Scandinavia’s largest carnival, attracting over 100,000 people. It’s a week-long extravaganza of parades, costumes, and parties – an ideal time if you’re looking to meet some beautiful Danish girls, many of which are really up for a quick fling.

Aalborg is also the place with the happiest people in Europe. I am serious, the European Commission said it – the citizens of Aalborg are the most satisfied with their city in the whole of Europe. If that does not convince you that the place is worth a visit, I don’t know what will.

Other places to meet girls:

• Jomfru Ane Gade: Denmark’s most famous party street, lined with bars and clubs.

Herning

It might sound like a Herring – and therefore not interesting at all, but this is a great place to find beautiful Danish women, including some hidden gems.

While the city is smaller and less party animal-filled than other cities on this list, it offers a more mature crowd, with a lot of the girls you meet being senior professionals in their respective fields.

Granted, the clubs might be less fun, but there are a bunch of jazz bars that you definitely want to pay a visit to. Also, fine wine and dining are much better developed in Herning. There will be no shortage of impressive restaurants to bring your date to, so if you’re looking for something more higher brow, Herning is the city you should focus on.

It’s perfect if you’re looking for more mature women and you have your business suit around. You’ll be surprised to see how many successful women haven’t found their match yet and how open-minded and ready to mingle and destress they are.

Odense

Here is a fun fact about Odense – that is where Hans Christian Andersen was born, the guy who wrote virtually all of your favorite fairy tales (well, the ones that he didn’t write come from the Brothers Grimm).

A lot of things are H.C. Andersen-themed around Odense, including the marathon and the airport. Plus, the beautiful Danish women are out of a fairy tale as well! Who knows? Maybe you get to meet the next world-famous Danish model here.

As a commercial hub with notable shopping districts, Odense attracts a diverse crowd. You’ll find both affluent locals and a significant student population, thanks to the University of Southern Denmark. This might be the place to score a sugar baby or just some more… financially motivated women. No, but there are also a lot of decent, non-gold-digger girls around.

Although house parties seem to be the norm in Odense, bars are still a fun place to meet new girls (and so is my recommended dating website to meet girls in Denmark, including Odense.).

In short, you would not struggle to meet beautiful Danish women in Odense, not to mention that they are significantly more than the guys (a.k.a. you have a statistical advantage).

Good places I recommend for finding your next date:

• Den Smagløse Café: A quirky spot popular with students. Its name translates to “The Tasteless Cafe” but trust me – it’s actually amazing! (Check it on Google Maps here).
• Lørups Vinstue: One of the oldest bars in Odense, known for its cozy ambiance.

Esbjerg

Esbjerg is a seaport city but it also boasts some pretty cool beaches (if you happen to be here in the three days per year where the weather is actually beach-appropriate).

Esbjerg can be a fun couple of days trip from Aalborg – it is just over 160 kilometres away but the drive is short (Danish freeways are pretty good).

Esbjerg is also cheaper if we compare it to the overall cost of living in Denmark. Since your pursuit of meeting beautiful Danish women might end up pretty expensive, that would be a welcome break from all the big spending.

If you are wondering if the nightlife and girls are worth it – yes, totally. A pub I could recommend to start off the night is Paddy Easy Go. Head over to the Dronning Louise – Natklub or to No. 31 for some cocktails and a lot of dancing (also a lot of beautiful Danish women).

Oh, and I also must mention the Rustik. It’s a dance club with some pretty amazing DJ’s coming in every weekend. But more importantly, it has been designed to look like an Eastern European factory. And you know I love Eastern European women…

Vejle

This Danish town is known for the beautiful medieval architecture with 900+-year-old buildings sprinkled around the center like it were nothing.

In terms of nightlife, it is significantly calmer than the university cities on this list. You would not find a shortage of amazing jazz clubs and quirky cocktail places, though. Vejle is the perfect place to meet those beautiful Danish women, but it is also refreshingly authentic.

There is very little tourism (although the city definitely has a lot to offer, it has always stayed off the grid) and even your foreigner status alone would give you extra points with girls. Just make sure that you know how to take advantage of it!

Conclusion

There you have it – seven great Danish cities where you can meet beautiful women and experience the country beyond Copenhagen. I have to warn you, though, Danish girls are not the easiest to get.

Half of the games we usually play (we as in ‘guys and girls alike’) they see right through. You would do best to stick to being yourself.

Cliche, cookie-cutter advice, I know, but Scandinavian girls are so no-BS that this is one of the few strategies that will always work.
