Experience exciting contemporary art at the Esbjerg Kunst Museum - not forgetting the beautiful amber artefacts at the Esbjerg main museum.

The ferry port of Esbjerg, Denmark's western gateway, is situated on the North Sea. There are frequent ferry sailings to the nearby island of Fano,

of hot and cold food - a vast spread of seafood, meats, cheeses, salads and sweets.
