Billund is a small town in the middle of Jutland that most people know for one reason: it is where LEGO began, and it is home to the LEGO House and Legoland. Families come from all over Europe, often for several days, and a photo session is a way to keep something better than phone snapshots of the trip.
The town itself is quiet, but it gives you more variety than you might expect. The LEGO House, designed by BIG, is a stack of white blocks with coloured, stepped terraces that look like giant bricks. A few minutes outside town you are in pine and spruce plantation with sandy paths, and within about half an hour you can reach the Viking-age monuments at Jelling, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Sessions here are mostly family photoshoots, vacation photography and maternity portraits for parents expecting a second child. If you are planning a longer Danish trip, Aarhus is about an hour away and Ribe about an hour to the south-west. Our guide to family photography in Denmark has more ideas for planning with children.
Photo spots — Billund
- 01
LEGO House exterior and terraces
The building’s white blocks and stepped terraces in red, yellow, blue and green make bold, graphic backgrounds that children recognise immediately. The square around the building has been open to the public without an experience ticket, and the colourful terraces give frames that need nothing else in them. Inside is a ticketed experience with its own rules, so check opening times and what is allowed before you plan.
- Best time
- Early morning or late afternoon, when the square is quieter and the light is softer on the colours.
- Access
- In the centre of Billund, a few minutes on foot from the main hotels. Steps on the terraces; pushchairs need the lifts.
- 02
Legoland Billund
The original Legoland park, with miniature towns built from bricks, rides and themed areas. It is a private, ticketed park and sets its own rules for professional photography, so do not assume a session inside is possible. Your photographer will check the current policy; many families instead do a short session outside the gates before or after their visit.
- Best time
- Only by arrangement with the park; outside the gates, morning before opening.
- Access
- On the edge of Billund, next to the airport. Ticket required for the park.
- 03
Plantation forests and heath around Billund
Mid-Jutland was once open heath, and much of it was planted with conifers in the 19th and 20th centuries. The result is quiet plantation forest with straight paths, soft needle floors, sandy clearings and patches of heather. It is calm, private and forgiving for small children who do not want to stand still.
- Best time
- Late afternoon, when the low sun comes through the trunks; August and September for flowering heather.
- Access
- A short drive from town; your photographer chooses a forest with easy parking and flat paths.
- 04
Jelling monuments
Two large burial mounds, the runestones raised by Gorm the Old and Harald Bluetooth, a white church and the outline of a huge Viking-age palisade marked in white posts on the grass. The open lawns and white lines give simple, clean frames, and the history makes it more than a backdrop. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site, so do not climb on the stones.
- Best time
- Morning or late afternoon; the open site has little shade at midday.
- Access
- About 30 minutes by car east of Billund, or by train to Jelling station, a short walk away.
- 05
Vejle waterfront
Vejle sits at the head of Vejle Fjord, about 30–40 minutes from Billund. Its harbour has modern architecture including the white, wave-shaped apartment building known as Bølgen, and a promenade along the water. It is an easy addition if you want a city or waterfront look as well as forest.
- Best time
- Morning, when the light comes in from the east over the fjord.
- Access
- About 30–40 minutes by car from Billund; Vejle station is on the main line between Copenhagen and Aarhus.

Seasons
Most families visit Billund in the summer and autumn school holidays, when Legoland is busiest. June gives the longest days, with sunset after 21:30, so a session after dinner is realistic. September and October bring softer light and colour in the forest. Legoland itself has a season and closes for part of the winter, so check dates before you plan the trip. For the national picture, read the best time for a photoshoot in Denmark.
Time of day
Plan around your children rather than the sun. For small children, late afternoon after a rest or early morning before the parks open usually work best. The forests photograph well at most hours because of their shade, while the LEGO House terraces are most comfortable in the morning or evening. A sunrise or sunset slot may carry a surcharge, stated in your proposal.
Weather and wind
Mid-Jutland is less windy than the coasts but just as changeable. Showers are common in summer, and a grey day is soft and flattering, especially in the forest. On rainy days, the covered areas around the LEGO House help for short breaks, but heavy rain usually means moving the session. Bring rain covers for pushchairs and a change of clothes for small children.
Getting there
Billund Airport has direct flights from many European cities and sits right next to Legoland. There is no train station in Billund; buses connect with the stations at Vejle and other towns nearby. Most families have a car, and that is the easiest way to combine town, forest and Jelling in one session. The photographer usually meets you at your hotel or at the LEGO House.
Good to know
No permit is needed for a private session in public spaces in Billund or in state forests. The LEGO House interior and Legoland are private, ticketed venues with their own rules on professional photography: check their current policies, or let your photographer arrange it, before you plan any part of the session inside. Jelling is a protected World Heritage site; do not climb the runestones. Drone flights are restricted near Billund Airport. Family sessions start at DKK 2,900 for 60 minutes; see pricing for what changes the figure.
- Book the session on a day without a park visit, or before it, while children have energy.
- Coordinate outfits in two or three colours; the LEGO House is already very colourful.
- Bring a favourite toy or snack to help small children through the hour.
- Check the Legoland and LEGO House rules before you promise children a photo inside.
- Forest sessions are the most relaxed choice for toddlers.
