The northernmost city in Denmark, on the northern tip of Jutland where Kattegat meets Skagerrak. A stunningly beautiful area with sand beaches, though often with a ban on swimming due to the dangerous currents. This is where Scandinavian artists gathered at the end of the 19th centure, looking for the special light in the area, hence the name the Skagen Painters.
