　　Evocatively presented, this open-air museum, 200m southwest of the harbour, depicts Skagen’s maritime history and gives an insight into the traditional fishing community that so transfixed the Skagen artists (but without the romanticism!).

Must-see attractions

　　Appropriately enough for such a neat and ordered country, Denmark doesn’t end untidily at its most northerly point, but on a neat finger of sand just a few metres wide. You can actually paddle at its tip, where the waters of the Kattegat (an arm of the Baltic Sea) and...

　　Time stands still at the atmospheric former home of renowned Skagen painters Anna and Michael Ancher, its interiors unchanged since Anna Ancher's passing in 1935. You can inspect the family's personal possessions and around 250 works of art from Scandinavian, German, Dutch and British artists. The venue also includes a...

Skagen Odde Naturcenter

　　In a beautiful Utzon-designed building on the northern outskirts of town, this centre gives an insight into the natural elements that surround Skagen and make it unique. It's pricey, but worth a visit if you're into architecture. There are also changing art exhibitions, and family activities. ...
