The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Skagen, Jutland
A large, busy harbor doesn’t dampen the charm of Skagen’s older neighborhoods, which offer distinctive yellow houses, great museums, ceramic and glass art galleries, and bike rental outlets. Harbourside restaurants serve fish fresh off the boats. If you’re used to Caribbean beaches, this will take some getting used to, but we bet Skagen’s craggy charms will win you over.

If you live for and love nature then this is for you This is a unique experience because of the two bodies of water meeting and I was totally mesmerized by watching the waves collide from their each direction. We head sending weather, which helps but we would have gone in any weather. While we were there the seal were playing in the water and that made it be also intriguing to watch their heads bob up and down in the surf. Finally from grenen we walked west to the most northern point in Denmark along the coast and then further to "gammel Skagen" to the sunset point to see the sun go down. We really enjoyed the grenen, the nature and the walk to the sunset.

The statue of the two painters Michael Ancher (left) and Peder Severin Krøyer (right) has been standing in front of Skagens Museum since 1928. The two painters were some of the principal figures in the artists’ colony in Skagen, which was established in the end of the 19th century. The artists in the colony are known collectively as ‘The Skagen Painters’. Both painters were pioneers of outdoor painting. They are portrayed carrying the necessary tools for outdoor painting: Michael Ancher are holding his brushes in his hand and Peder Severin Krøyer is carrying his pochade box over his houlder containing brushes, paints, and a pre-stretched canvas. The statue was made by a third prominent member of the artists’ colony, Laurits Tuxen. All three of them, Ancher, Krøyer, and Tuxen, were among the co-founders of Skagens Museum in 1908. Inside the museum you can find paintings by all of them. The museum was founded to preserve the art of the Skagen Painters close to where the art was made.
