A Relaxed Danish Town
Located on UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea, Esbjerg has a rich maritime history. A shuttle bus will take you from the port into the center, which is perfect for exploring on foot.
En route, you can choose to stop at the city’s striking landmark, the 30-ft “Man Meets the Sea” sculpture, which gazes out over the horizon. The sculptures were installed in 1995 to celebrate the city’s 100th anniversary. You’ll find the center of Esberg to be a blend of historic charm and modern Scandinavian chic. Look out for the iconic water tower, and perhaps head to one of the city’s museums or art galleries.
