If you live for and love nature then this is for you This is a unique experience because of the two bodies of water meeting and I was totally mesmerized by watching the waves collide from their each direction. We head sending weather, which helps but we would have gone in any weather. While we were there the seal were playing in the water and that made it be also intriguing to watch their heads bob up and down in the surf. Finally from grenen we walked west to the most northern point in Denmark along the coast and then further to "gammel Skagen" to the sunset point to see the sun go down. We really enjoyed the grenen, the nature and the walk to the sunset.

Kunsten is a living art museum allowing space for immersion, wonder and fascination. The museum houses a unique collection comprising over 4000 works of art, mostly post-1900, by Danish and foreign artists. The exhibition area consists of five galleries providing visitors with ample opportunity to experience the permanent collection as well as a number of special exhibitions. Kunsten also hosts a variety of events including lectures, film screenings, concerts, family workshops, guided tours, and other activities suitable for all age groups. The museum building, completed in 1972, is an attraction in its own right. Designed by the world-famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, assisted by Elissa Aalto and Jean-Jacques Baruel, it is the only museum building outside Finland designed by Aalto. The museum is built of striking white marble, a style that is continued inside with stunning marble flooring and copper lamps, also designed by Aalto.

I used to live in Aalborg in the dawn of time but I never got around to visit Kunsten. Now on a short holiday trip I did go there and actually wish I had been there before. The building by Aalto is a study in it self with many very nice details and the exhibition is really nice. The museum aims to put the art in context and to promote discussion e.g. by indicating "conversation zones" where you can discuss with you fellow art people. Nice cafe and sculpture park where there is also room for children.

We visited the Skagens Museum during a Viking cruise excursion and learned so much about the artists and history of the area while listening to the guide describe the beautiful works of art. Summer evening on Skagen Sanderstrand, 1893, was my favorite painting.

Last time we visited the light house was some twenty years ago. Then it looked like now. Except for the comfortable path that goes almost all the way. Cant wait to vist again in twenty years time. Admission is free, I think 10 DKK would guarantee towers survival when next move is necessary. Great view and outing.

It's open - also in the evening. There is a self-service cash box/mobile pay where you can pay for your entrance (20DKK). We went there some time before sunset - the views from the top were fantastic. It might be a bit windy, so take a hat and a jacket - even it's July ;)

Pretty cool place to go with kids. A lot of cool stuff to see especially the submarine, where you imagine how it was to serve there during cold war.

3-4 hours of walking. It's a city zoo so don't expect huge animal enclosures. Plenty picnic spots for your own lunch. Restaurant has good healthy food options. We had a nice time.

I was there with my two toddlers and it was one of the best visits we've ever made! Apart from the impressive main aquarium there are plenty of smaller ones and a lot of different activities, I think everybody can find something suitable. And the place is designed perfectly for children, there are several spots where they can stop and play a bit. It's definitely worth its price!
