## Middelfart in brief
The Little Belt Bridge — Funen meets Jutland: Middelfart is the hub where the E20 motorway and railway cross the Little Belt. This gives commuter access to Odense (20 min) and Fredericia (15 min) and makes the municipality attractive for families who want nature but don't want to give up urban amenities.

Coast and hills along the Little Belt: Middelfart's coastline along the Little Belt is one of the municipality's strong cards. Beaches, sailing and scenic surroundings attract newcomers and push up prices for attractively located homes.

Active town centre with a regional catchment: Middelfart city has a vibrant retail scene and cultural offering. The municipality also covers Ejby and Nørre Aaby and has a mix of urban and rural housing types.
