Bus Hire in Holstebro, Denmark

Holstebro is the main city of western Jutland, sitting on the Storaa river approximately 60 kilometres west of Viborg via Route 26 and 90 kilometres south of Aalborg via the E39. It has an unusually strong art and culture profile for a Danish city of its size: the Holstebro Art Museum holds one of the most significant collections of Danish and international modern art outside Copenhagen, and the city is internationally known in theatre circles as the home of Odin Teatret (Odin Theatre), founded by the Italian-Norwegian director Eugenio Barba in 1964 and still based in the suburb of Holstebro today. Aalborg Airport (AAL) is the most convenient major hub, approximately 90 kilometres north.

Coach hire in Holstebro serves cultural groups visiting the museum and theatre complex, school and student groups, and corporate transport for the agricultural and food processing industries that dominate the west Jutland economy. The city is also a gateway to the Jutland North Sea coast (Thyborøn, 40 kilometres north-west) and the Limfjord (the inland sea dividing northern Jutland).

Holstebro Art Museum and the Cultural Quarter

Holstebro Kunstmuseum (Holstebro Art Museum, Museumsvej 2, 1 kilometre south of the city centre via Sondre Alle, approximately 5 minutes by coach) holds a permanent collection of Danish art from the 19th century to the present, with particular strength in the CoBrA movement and Danish post-war abstraction. The museum also holds international sculpture in its outdoor park. Adjacent to the museum is the Holstebro Museum (local and regional history). Coach parking on Museumsvej. The city centre pedestrian area (Storegade) has a large outdoor collection of public sculpture including works by Alberto Giacometti and Henry Moore -- an unusually high concentration for a Danish provincial city, the result of a 1960s municipal art acquisition programme.

Odin Teatret and the International Theatre Community

Odin Teatret (Odin Theatre, Odin Teatervej 4, in the Holstebro suburb area, approximately 5 minutes from the centre) was founded in Oslo in 1964 by Eugenio Barba and relocated to Holstebro in 1966. It is one of the most internationally renowned experimental theatre companies in Europe, conducting regular international seminars, residencies, and festivals that attract theatre practitioners from across the world. The Odin building complex includes rehearsal spaces, archives, and a small performance theatre. Group visits and seminars can be arranged in advance; the Odin is not a conventional ticketed venue but hosts periodic open performances.

West Jutland Coast: Thyborøn and the North Sea

Thyborøn (40 kilometres north-west of Holstebro via Route 11, approximately 35 minutes) is a fishing village at the entrance to the Limfjord, where the narrow Thyborøn Channel connects the Limfjord to the North Sea. The Thyborøn Sea Museum (Bunker Museum) covers the North Sea fishing industry and the German Atlantic Wall fortifications from the Second World War. The North Sea coast north of Thyborøn (Agger Tange, Vorupør, Klitmøller -- also known as 'Cold Hawaii' for its wave-surfing) offers dramatic dune and beach landscapes for touring groups.
