Personal comments:
Crazy Daisy-night club in the center of Horsens.Be sure u have somebody to drive u over here, taxis are way too expensive. If u like walking, thats even better.Takes about 20 by feet. All night life is mainly in downtown, so if u like, u can visit fewer clubs more same night, of course if u have money. Students prefer hose partys more, beer is really cheap, and gooood.
