Frederikshavn Guide

Frederikshavn Ferry Port

The harbour town of Frederikshavn is located at the base of the Jutland peninsula that shapes the northern tip of Denmark. This quiet settlement, built upon the sweeping coast of the Kattegat strait, is surrounded by miles of flat grassland and fields laden with crops. It's an important seaport too. The numerous wharfs and marinas that protrude from the northern shores of town are busy all year with ships travelling along the corridor that connects the North and Baltic Seas. The ferry port of Frederikshavn is found within the sheltered inlet of the coast formed by two, arcing breakwaters. The terminal is a modern building that sits at the end of a wide pier, its length covered by a long undercover footbridge that allows passengers to walk from the main road outside the port to the ferry check-in point without having to step foot on the busy grounds of the harbour. There are plenty of amenities at the port, including toilets, a café selling hot food and drinks, an indoor waiting room and a tourist information point. The streamlined check-in service, including a departure area arranged into a neat series of lanes to help guide traffic, ensures that boarding the ferries is a smooth and straightforward experience. Those driving to the port can make use of the E45 motorway that leads north from Aalborg, the largest city in the Jutland region, and loops directly into the port. The train station, just a short walk from the harbour, also serves as a gateway to a multitude of destinations across the country, including the sprawling capital city of Copenhagen over 5-hours south. Two routes currently leave from the port at Frederikshavn. Stena Line ferries offer a daily trip to the Swedish capital of Gothenburg a short distance east across the width of the Kattegat strait, while another weekly service makes the longer voyage north to the Norwegian city of Oslo.

What is there to do in Oslo?

Thousands of people have relocated to Oslo, and after visiting, it’s easy to see why. Stunning architecture, a bustling waterfront area and an array of fascinating museums make Norway’s capital one of the fastest growing cities in the world. The culture and amenities are expected of a capital city, but it’s Oslo’s surrounding nature that separates it from other major capitals; endless countryside engulfs the city centre and lusciously green parks provide the ideal setting for a leisurely stroll in the afternoon sun. Vigelandsparken is the standout park in terms of aesthetics, attracting thousands of visitors per day. As well as the beauty and adventure belonging to the city, Oslo’s main drawing point is the proximity of its attractions. The city centre is easily walkable in a day or two, which is typically the desirable option considering the impressive infrastructure and refreshingly clean environment. There are walking and bike tours on offer, showcasing the most popular and highly regarded sights – the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet House is a particular highlight. If witnessing the main attractions doesn’t sound too appealing, there are also taste tours which take visitors around the most highly rated restaurants and food chains in the city.

How do visitors get around Oslo?

There is a comprehensive public transport system consisting of buses, trams, trains and the metro so the city is very easy to navigate around. The two main hubs for public transport are Oslo Central Station and Nationaltheateret, the latter being the primary underground connection.
