Skagen

Denmark

Skagen is Denmark's northernmost town, at the tip of the Jutland peninsula where two seas meet. A fishing port that became a famous artists' colony in the 19th century, it is the country's most northerly attraction. Attractions include Grenen — the sandbar point where the Skagerrak and Kattegat waves visibly collide — the Skagens Museum's golden-age painters, the sand-buried church tower, the Råbjerg Mile migrating dune, the fishing harbor's seafood, and the town's distinctive yellow houses.
