Introducing Hirtshals
Adored by discount-hungry Norwegians and largely inhabited by hardened Hirtshals seamen, this thriving modern town makes a reasonable base for sightseeing, but its looks aren’t likely to take your breath away. Beaches and an impressive show of sea life round out the appeal.

The tourist office (98 94 22 20; Nørregade 40; www.visithirtshals.dk; 9am-5pm Mon-Fri, 10am-3pm Sat mid-Jun–Aug, 10am-3pm Mon-Fri, 9am-noon Sat Sep–mid-Jun) is at the end of the far pedestrian walk, about five minutes’ walk from the train station, and has town and region information. The seaward end of Nørregade opens out into a wide, airy space, Den Grønne Plads (The Green Square), which overlooks the fishing harbour and its tiers of blue-hulled boats.
