Steffen_Dk Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 It depends on how big it has to be, to be called a big city. My home town Randers is a big city in Denmark - approx. 70,000 citizens, so I guess it's the nearest big city. But if I should mention another big city nearby, it has to be Århus.
