Skagen is geographically located at the top of Denmark, putting it at the very top of the continent of Europe. Here the two seas - The Baltic and the North Sea - and the whole world meet. At Grenen, the headland of the Skagen Odde spit, you can actually stand with one foot in the Baltic and one in the North Sea!

The Port of Skagen is Denmark's largest fishing harbour. In spite of this, it has retained the charming harbour atmosphere with restaurants in old fish warehouses surrounding the bustling marina.

The town of Skagen, which is a 600-year old market town has a unique setting and a fascinating history. For generations, it has been painted and depicted by artists and poets because of the remarkable Skagen light, the picturesque yellow fishermen's homes with the red tiled roofs and white edgings, the spectacular scenery and the lives and dealings of the fishing community. Even the great Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen lost his heart to Skagen.

The shopping facilities in Skagen are exceptional - art galleries, handicraft shops, Danish design, jewellery, amber and fashion. The pedestrian street, just 5 minutes walk from the terminal, has a bustling yet intimate shopping atmosphere.
