What you will visit:

Skagen Odde Nature Center
Dedicated to the effects of sand, water, wind and light, this architecturally stunning museum designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon of Sydney Opera House fame, is comprised of a series of pavilions with pyramidal roofs and gleaming skylights that showcase the natural elements that have shaped the region since the last ice age through displays of art and design.
Skagen Bryghus
Situated in the center of Skagen, Skagen Bryghus is Denmark's northernmost brewery, crafting specialty beers, pilsners and seasonal ales. This busy microbrewery offers an introduction to the local drinking culture. Visitors tour the brewery to learn about the ingredients used and the process from hops to bottle. At the conclusion of the tour, tastings are offered of several different varieties, and a small bottle of Skagen beer is given as a parting gift.

What you will see along the way:

The authentic beauty of Skagen comes to life when you discover its charms via motorcoach. Your guided tour meanders throughout this picturesque fishing town and takes you past the white picket fences that front pretty painted homes topped with red roofs, as well as past the local highlights and beautiful scenery that has made it an artists destination for centuries.

Snack:

Pakhuset
A charming seafood restaurant and harborside café, Pakhuset is housed in an authentic fisherman's cottage that dates back to 1913. Here, guests discover one of Skagen's most iconic foods: marinated herring. The tasting menu includes five different types of herring along with some Aquavit, a traditional spirit of Scandinavia with infused flavors of spices and herbs.

Special Notes:

Tour may operate in reverse order. Local brewed beer will be served. If under 18 of age a soft drink will replace the beer. Approximately 12 steps at Restaurant Pakhuset.
