Skagen
Pop 8200
With its rich art heritage, fresh seafood, photogenic neighbourhoods and classic characters,
Skagen (pronounced Skain) is an utterly delicious slice of Denmark.
In the mid-19th century artists flocked here, charmed by the radiant light's impact on the
ruggedly beautiful landscape. Now tourists come in droves, drawn by an intoxicating com-
bination of busy working harbour, long sandy beaches and buzzing holiday atmosphere.
The town gets packed in summer but maintains its charm, especially in the intimate, older
neighbourhoods, filled with distinctive yellow houses framed by white-picket fences and
red-tiled roofs.
Catering to the tourist influx are numerous museums, art galleries, bike-rental outlets,
ice-creameries and harbourside restaurants. Come and see why half the Danish population
lights up whenever the town's name is mentioned.
