Billund Trip 2026


I am spreading this as wide as I can in hopes of not accidentally missing anyone I might want to see on my trip or anyone that might be offended by not getting looped in. This May 5th-June 13th, I will be in Billund, Denmark for an extended dream vacation around the LEGO Inside Tour (May 20th-22nd).

Spending over a month there means plenty of time to actually do everything and see everything. If you'll be in the area and are interested in meeting up, yes, that includes time to see you. I know during my 2019 trip, I pushed people away because I was really there to see The LEGO House, LEGO HQ, LEGOLAND, the Teddy Bear Art Museum, Loplet, Skulpturpark, etc, etc, etc... but this time, I'll have plenty of time to soak up the art, culture, and history of the place at a more leisurely pace. I've already booked my flights and arranged for lodging in Billund - beyond that, I'm travelling on foot or by transit.

I am open to advice on who/what to see while I'm there - my photos will eventually turn up on Flickr. I'll be packing light on the way out and leaving room for souvenirs, but if there's something you want brought to Billund from the States, let me know and I will see what I can do. My usual interest in autographs will be skimped on (booklets are heavy), but I am already entertaining a few requests for boxes of cereal. While I'm open to bringing some things back, I anticipate needing to ship stuff back beyond what will fit in suitcases (historical finds aside, there are already a few exclusive shopping opportunities lined up).

In case you're reading this somewhere I don't check, I am reachable through e-mail at dp316tracking@gmail.com (but might reply from a different e-mail address).

While the time where this would have been a dream for me has passed, I'm glad you'll be able to spend an extended time there. Enjoy the trip and thanks for posting!

Congrats on going! I hope you have a great time.

It's been a minute for me, but when I lived there, I always enjoyed going to the bakery or Super Brugsen to pick up a Hindbærsnitter - kind of a giant Pop Tart thing. Of everything in Denmark that I miss (other than my friends), it's one of those big ol' pastries.

Afraid I can't be more help with the brick-related stuff... a lot has changed in Billund since I was last there in 2013.

That is excellent advice and exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. There's actually a Super Brugsen right near my AirBNB, so this should be easy to find.

I noticed Billund Bageri has expanded some of their menu selections such that older recommended names aren't the same - I was mostly after kanelsnegle the first time I went, and I think they have 5 different varieties of that now, none of which had names that made sense with what little Danish I know.

So much has changed since my 2019 trip that 2013 might as well be the stone age now. They've actually removed the marching band guard outside of LEGOLAND Billund since the I Love Billund set was designed, and that only came out this year!

Related baked good question: where's a good place to try an Æbleskiver around here?

I've now tried a Makronsnitter, which contains hindbaer (raspberry) as well as almonds and hazelnuts. I can confirm that this is very tasty.
