Trips to Skagen

The first thing you notice on your journey, as you approach Skagen, is the brilliant light. Then you see a magnificent landscape with vast forests and sand dunes surrounded by the sea. The mild Cattegat meeting the rougher Skagerrak at Grenen.

The first tourists were painters, captivated by the unique light. It all started in the mid-1800s when painters like PS Krøyer, Anna and Michael Ancher, and the poet and painter Holger Drachmann helped bring attention to Skagen. Even today, many artists live and work here, finding inspiration just as the "Golden Age" painters did.

A trip to Skagen offers a wealth of entertainment, culture, restaurants, and cozy environments. You must view works by the Skagen Painters at Skagens Museum. Perhaps dine on a seafood dinner at the legendary Brøndums Hotel, a favorite haunt of the artists. In short, it's a perfect vacation.

If you're on a road trip, it's just over a half-hour drive from the local ferry port to Skagen, where you'll be greeted by open spaces and enchanting light. The pedestrian street Sankt Laurentivej tempts with art and shopping, while the harbor offers dining spots and stalls with fresh fish and shrimp. Enjoy relaxation, romance, and entertainment all year round. The high season is unbeatable, with sun, sea, and bustling restaurants and nightlife. During the quieter low season, it's more romantic—ideal for a weekend getaway. Savor delicious meals at cozy restaurants and enjoy walks along the beach. Stay at a charming small hotel. You can also experience guided tours, crafts, and art museums year-round.

In Skagen, we offer plenty of great accommodations like hotels, vacation apartments, or even renting a house with a private swimming pool.

Once you visit Skagen, you'll likely want to return on another trip.
