Plan and enjoy your holiday in Randers
The town where the fjord and the Gudenåen river meet
In the old market town of Randers, you will come across the oldest pedestrian street in all of Denmark, cobblestone streets, and beautiful, old half-timbered houses. Randers is situated in the very heart of Jutland where Randers inlet meets the Gudenåen stream, which allows you to enjoy the vibrant shopping and cultural scene in the town centre while being close to the peace and quiet in the stunning landscape near the water.
Spotlight on Summer in Randers
A Summer holiday in Randers offers a wealth of events – by the fjord, in the rainforest, in the town and throughout the region. Along Randers Fjord, there are great opportunities for picnics, crab catching, birdwatching and perhaps a dip at Udbyhøj Strand. The nature park also offers guided tours and educational activities where children learn about nature and wildlife through play and hands-on experiences. Pop along to Randers Regnskov (Randers Rainforest) or Randers Industrial Parkour if you fancy something a bit wild – if you prefer a more leisurely pace, there are walking trails and fun geocaching tours where you can hunt for hidden treasures together – a fun way to combine play and an outing.
