Hire Car Esbjerg Tips, Experiences & Comparison

Discover Esbjerg by Hire Car

Esbjerg is located on the west coast of Jutland in Denmark and just a stone’s throw from the German border.

It ranks as Denmark’s fifth largest city and is home to one of the most important fishing ports.

A tour of the harbour highlights the local people’s centuries-old connection with the elements. Afterwards, perhaps some freshly caught fish?

Sights in Esbjerg

Esbjerg itself and its surroundings offer destinations for delightful excursions to suit everyone’s taste. For some, the highlight is the city’s art museum, while others are tempted by a visit to the Amber Museum.

While some will be transported back to times long past by the Antiquities and Cities Exhibition, others will come alive on a tour of Esbjerg’s various churches.

Thrilling for young and old alike is the Fisheries and Maritime Museum: visitors can watch the seals being fed at the seal tank twice a day.

Exploring the Esbjerg countryside

In addition to culture and art – Esbjerg is not only home to pretty painting galleries but also goldsmiths and amber cutters! – the nature reserves in the area invite you to visit.

For this, a hire car is ideal, with which even a larger radius can be explored flexibly. For smaller excursions, a bicycle is ideal: numerous cycling and hiking trails are signposted.

Lordly farms and Iron Age excavations are worthwhile destinations. The landscape is characterised by the close proximity to the sea. Dunes, forests, beaches and mudflats provide habitats for fish and bird species, but also relaxation for holidaymakers: sea breezes and sunshine make everyday worries recede into the distance.

For a romantic evening, Torvegade is a lovely destination: here the starry sky has been captured in the pavement.
