Introducing Faaborg & Around
Faaborg is a south-facing sun trap and has a relaxing air even at the height of its tourist summer season. In the 17th century it was a bustling harbour town sustained by one of Denmark’s largest commercial fleets. Today, Faaborg retains many vestiges of that earlierera in its picturesque, cobblestone streets and leaning, half-timbered houses. In recent years Faaborg harbour has been rejuvenated with smart housing and restaurants and it’s well worth stopping for a drink or lunch before moving on to other towns on Funen or via the ferry to the southern islands.
