Jutland

Jutland (Danish: Jylland) is the mainland part of Denmark. It is a large peninsula connected to the European continent and stretching northwards towards the Scandinavian Peninsula. It's about 350 kilometers long from the border with Germany to its northern tip, although the northernmost part is actually an island. It makes up nearly 70% of Denmark's land area and is home to 2.5 million people, roughly half the nation's population. Jutland's largest city is Aarhus; the nation's capital and largest city, Copenhagen, is not on Jutland, but on the island of Zealand.

While the North Jutlandic Island (Nørrejyske Ø or Vendsyssel-Thy) is an island, is it usually referred to as part of North Jutland.
