★★★★☆
Introduction
Skagen is the fishing town at Jutland's northern tip; its old town is known for yellow half-timbered houses with white window frames and granite lanes — the light-filled place where the 19th-century Skagen Painters gathered, hailed as the 'Danish Riviera'. The central square, fish market and harbour keep a vivid port spirit; summer brings open-air cafés and galleries. From here you can walk to Grenen, a relaxed Nordic blend of resort and art.
