Svendborg
Pop 26,700
Darling of the Danish yachting fraternity, who pack the town's cafe-dotted streets each
summer, Svendborg is a major sailing centre. There are more Danish boats registered here
than anywhere else outside Copenhagen, and the town is the main gateway to Funen's
beautiful southern archipelago.
Although it's predominantly a modern industrial settlement, Svendborg possesses mar-
vellous wooded cycling areas, popular beaches, a great natural-history museum and a first-
rate hostel - not to mention a harbour packed with old wooden boats from across the Balt-
ic.
