Esbjerg

The ferry route from the UK has been discontinued.

By train

The train station is in the town centre and this connects you to pretty all of Denmark and beyond.
From here, DSB operates InterCity trains to Copenhagen via Kolding and Odense and Regional trains to Aarhus via Fredericia. Arriva operates trains on the smaller lines south to Ribe, Tønder and Niebüll and north to Varde, Nørre Nebel and Skjern.

By plane

• Esbjerg Airport is in the eastern part of the city, with local bus connections. There are flight connections to London (Stanstead Airport), Aberdeen and Stavanger-Bergen, Norway
• Billund Airport is western Denmark's biggest and better connected. It is conveniently located about an hour's drive from Esbjerg and there's a bus connection.

By bus

Express buses connect Esbjerg to Aalborg, Aarhus and Sønderborg as well as other towns in Denmark.

The town is centered around the harbour and shopping area (Skolegade, Kongensgade). As the town area is rather small, it is possible to get most places by walking. However, you might consider using the public bus for the more far sights as Fisheries- and Maritime Museum in Hjerting.

• Man meets the seaSculpture depicting 4 sitting men looking over the sea.

• Fisheries and Maritime MuseumThe Fisheries and Maritime Museum is the largest institution of its kind in Denmark focusing on Danish fisheries and marine biology, the tidal wetlands (Wadden Sea), west Jutland coastal shipping and the North Sea offshore industries. So the theme of the museum can truly be said to be "people and the sea".
