Skagen Holiday Villas Nordjylland | Denmark

About the area

Skagen, with its rich art, fresh seafood, photogenic neighbourhoods and classic characters, is an utterly gorgeous slice of Denmark.  It lies on the northern most tip of Nordylland.  At Grenen, which is just a 5km drive from Skagen, you can stand with one foot in the North Sea and the other in the Baltic Sea- a unique experience!

Skagen has long since been a popular desitnation for artists that come to the area for its special light and beautiful rugged landsacpe. Now tourists flock here, drawn by an intoxicating combination of a busy working harbour, long sandy beaches and a buzzing holiday atmosphere.

The town gets packed in summer but maintains every bit of 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 top-notch museums, arts and craft galleries, bike-rental outlets, ice-cream parlours and harbourside restaurants serving fish fresh off the boats. Come and see why half the Danish population lights up whenever the town’s name is mentioned.
