Known for its maritime heritage, Esbjerg is one of
Denmark's newest cities at just 130 years old. With regular DFDS Seaways crossings, there has never been a better time to visit this interesting city.

In addition to its popular Fisheries and Maritime Museum, with its outdoor exhibits, well stocked aquarium and "sealarium", the city has plenty to offer.

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