Wander through the medieval streets, discover maritime history and enjoy a day of sports activities in this historic waterfront town.

The waterfront city of Svendborg charms visitors with pretty harbour views, cobblestone streets, historic houses and a bustling centre. Explore the excellent maritime museum, take a cruise on the water and learn about life on the sea.

Meander down old narrow lanes to spot historic manor houses. Stroll to the water’s edge, pass the shipyards and look out at the picturesque port to see boats bobbing on the water. Svendborg Harbour is one of Denmark’s busiest bays during peak season.

Inside the old warehouse on the wharf is the highly regarded Maritimt Centre. During the summer, the centre is a hive of activity. Listen to live music, browse popular markets, explore the warehouse shop, see exhibits and stop for an al fresco lunch at one of the cafés. Take the popular cruise to the South Funen Archipelago on a historic wooden ship.

Explore Tåsinge and Thurø in the Funen island cluster, both of which are accessible from the mainland. On Tåsinge, visit Valdemars Slot (Valdemar's Castle), which was built between 1639 and 1644 for Prince Valdemar. Dine in the castle restaurant, enjoy a high tea in the Tea Pavilion or stroll through the apple orchard. The castle is open to the public over the Easter  period and between May and October. 

Hop on a ferry to Ærø, Hjortø, Drejø or Skarø for a day of fishing or water activities, such as paddleboating or kayaking.

Explore the boutiques, specialty stores, taverns and restaurants of the Latin Quarter. See the 13th-century St. Nikolai Church in the beautifully preserved Old City with a reconstructed medieval fence and wooden hoist.

Svendborg, the capital of South Fyn (Funen), is a great place to discover local history and an ideal base to explore nearby attractions. It is 37 miles (60 kilometres) from Odense Airport and is easily accessed by bus and train. Navigate Svendborg easily by foot or bicycle. Many hotels offer bike rentals. Rental car, taxi, public bus and ferry are great options to explore nearby attractions.
