This is a large historic park with ponds, canals and rolling lawns in the English garden tradition. It's a beautiful place and perfect for a stroll or a picnic in the summer. There is a large playground in the park including opportunities for a fitness workout too, public toilets and a 9-"hole" disc-golf field. In the winter months, an outdoor ice rink is assembled. A dominant feature of the park is the large romantic Bygholm manor house from 1775, now a hotel and restaurant since 1919. The park used to be the site of a historic castle, Erik Menved's Castle, from 1313, but nowadays only a small ruin is left.

A nice park that you can hardly miss on your way from the central station to the shopping facilities in the city centre. Constructed in cobblestone and brick with large elevated plant beds of rhododendron. A very beautiful sight when the flowers blossom in May. Take a rest here in the shade of the oak trees. Vitus Bering was a famous Danish explorer, employed as marine officer by the Tsar of Russia in the early 1700s. Bering was from Horsens and this park has been constructed and named in his honour. You can dive into the story of Vitus Bering at Horsens Museum.
Horsens' highstreet. Cafés, restaurants, boutiques, and old buildings in the historic town centre. Søndergade and surrounding area is pedestrianised.
Horsens' theatre scene in a beautiful classical building from 1909. Theatre, music, opera, and cultural talks. Among the many events, the theatre also takes pride in events directed at children specifically.
Rent a canoe at the campsite at Bygholm Sø. Open from 15 June and through the summer. Combine it with a nature walk around the lake (8 or 13 km).
A former State prison, now a cultural institution and working museum. Try a guided tour around the prison or attend a changing palette of events throughout the year, including concerts, Christmas wrestling, and Haunted House theatre. Stay overnight in a prison cell, if you dare! Quench your thirst at HanGun, a local microbrewery in the prison's former laundry house.
Art museum in a large park. What makes this museum unique, is the focus on Danish art after 1800, and Danish experimental art after 1980 in particular.
