Hotels near Billund Airport

Billund is Denmark's second-busiest airport for passenger traffic despite serving a town of just over 6,000 residents, because much of its traffic is headed for LEGOLAND and LEGO House, both a few minutes from the terminal. Anyone with a dawn flight or a late-night return does well to stay close to the runway; those devoting at least a day to the park or the House of Bricks will find Billund's small centre more convenient, gathered right around LEGO House. Outside these two hubs there isn't much else: Billund grew up around the airport and the Lego factory, it isn't a city with neighbourhoods to choose between.

Pros

Pros
  • Garden with a play area, useful with small children after a day at the park
  • More space and calm than the apartments in the heart of town
Cons
  • A car is needed for any trip, including the return to the airport
