Getting ashore
Skagen is at the top of Denmark, where the Baltic and North Seas meet. Ships anchor and passengers are tendered ashore, or they use the harbour. The town is compact and walkable.
Watch-outs
Sea conditions can stop tenders. The wind and the weather change quickly. Services are few on Sundays.
Grenen
Grenen is the sandspit at the northern tip, where two seas meet. It is a short ride by bus or taxi, then a walk across the sand.
Skagen town
The town has a whitewashed old fishermen’s quarter, the harbour and the Skagens Museum, which has paintings by the Skagen Painters.
Michael and Anna Ancher
The Michael and Anna Ancher House is a museum in the town, showing the life and work of the painters who lived here.
Food & shopping
Danish food includes smørrebrød, fresh fish and local shellfish. Harbour restaurants are the easiest choice.
Money & connectivity
The currency is the Danish krone. Cards are accepted almost everywhere. Mobile signal is good in town.
Accessibility & mobility
The town is flat, but the old quarter has cobbles. Grenen involves sand and a walk, which is hard for wheelchairs. Ask your operator for accessible transport.
