Skagen is Denmark’s northernmost town, on the east coast of the Skagen Odde peninsula at the far north of Jutland. It lies within Frederikshavn Municipality in the Nordjylland region, about 41 kilometres (25 miles) north of Frederikshavn and 108 kilometres (67 miles) north‑east of Aalborg. The Port of Skagen is Denmark’s main fishing port and the town also has a strong tourism industry, attracting about 2 million visitors each year. Skagen is the place in Denmark where the greatest number of bird species can be seen: 367 out of the country’s 471 recorded species (as of 2017). Throughout the year the area around Skagen, especially Grenen, is visited by hundreds of birdwatchers from all over Denmark, particularly in April–May and early June, and to a lesser extent from August–November. Birdwatchers also come from Sweden, Norway and Germany. Other popular spots for birdwatching include Ellekrattet, Nordstrand (near Batterivej), Skagen Harbour, Flagbakken to the south‑west of the town, as well as the horse fields and scrub near Fyrvej, Bøjlevejen and Buttervej. Every day, all year round, Skagen Bird Observatory monitors migration at Grenen from the highest sand dune between the car park and Grenen, known as “The World’s End”. Owing to Skagen’s reputation as an artistic community, the local arts and crafts sector is an important source of income and jobs. Artwork and handicrafts are sold in galleries such as Galerie Skagen on Trondsvej. Sankt Laurentii Vej, one of the main streets away from the harbour area, is known for its glass and pottery shops; in particular, Skagen Glasvaerksted, which produces some of Jutland’s finest glass pieces, and Skagen Potteri. In addition to its arts and crafts shops, the town has a wide range of other retailers, including jewellers, clothes and shoe shops, handbag and souvenir shops, florists and gardening suppliers. There is also a variety of food shops, with butchers, bakers, a cheese shop, fishmongers and several restaurants and cafés.

Day 4

stavanger, norway

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 17:00

Stavanger is the fourth largest city in Norway and in recent years, has become the oil capital of Norway. Despite the rapid growth of the town due to North Sea exploration, Stavanger has managed to retain its old charm while offering all the amenities you'd expect in a modern town. The central area around Vågen harbour is usually bustling with activity, especially during the summer months. There are plenty of bars, cafes and places to eat. The old part of town, Gamle Stavanger, is a beautiful collection of old houses built in traditional Norse style. The historic centre of Stavanger includes several artisan workshops and the Norwegian Canning Museum. It's said there are 173 white cottages dating from the 1800's in this area. It's the largest surviving wooden house settlement in northern Europe. The fantastic Stavanger Cathedral is located right in the middle of the town, between the main harbour and Breiavatnet Lake. The overall style is Romanesque but the eastern side is clearly gothic, with all the specific elements included. The Norsk Oljemuseum shows its interesting side starting from its architecture. The museum is located in an impressive building down the harbour and tells you the history of oil in the North Sea and gives an insight into the industry. Outside the central area, there are lots of parks, open spaces and cycleways to explore the impressive scenery in the area. There's plenty to do in Stavanger itself, which has its own theatre, museums and concert hall. During the summer months, various festivals take place and the centre of town is buzzing with activity.

Day 6

bergen, norway

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 15:00

Clinging tenaciously to the hills surrounding its deeply indented fjord, the stunning scenery and exciting cultural tradition of Bergen make it unique among European cities. Once the capital of Norway, Bergen has always played a leading role in the nation’s history. Squeezed between mountains and bounded by water, the centre of town stretches between the harbour Bryggen and Torgalmenningen, the main square. The most sensuous spot in Bergen is the Torget, at the foot of the harbour, where your nose will tell you what’s being sold. Here you can choose fish from open tanks and watch traders net, weigh and clean the creature you’ve chosen. Looking towards the right side of the harbour you’ll see the pointed gables of Bryggen’s roofline. This row of heavy-timbered medieval buildings, typical of Hanseatic architecture, has survived half a dozen disastrous fires since its construction in the 16th century. Bryggen now features restaurants, bars and arts-and-crafts workshops. Housed in one of the best-preserved buildings, the Hanseatic Museum presents an interesting picture of commercial activity during those times. Starting from Torget or Bryggen, explore the jungle of houses on the slopes of Mount Floien. A steep hike above these houses will reward you with increasingly spectacular views of Bergen and the fjord beyond. Welcoming Bergen has numerous places for an evening beer or glass of wine. This beautiful and charming city has a dynamic cultural life and lively atmosphere and is the perfect place to explore the Sognefjord and other fantastic Norwegian fjords.
