Hirtshals Guide

Hirtshals Ferry Port

The renowned fishing town of Hirtshals is found upon a rural corner of the Jutland peninsula that shapes the pointed northern tip of Denmark. This hardworking community is centred around the local seaport, its wharfs and docks stretching into the bountiful waters of the Skagerrak. Views across the harbour and the flat, emerald swathe of surrounding countryside can be enjoyed from atop the Hirtshal Fyr, a tall lighthouse and landmark on the southern outskirts. The ferry terminal in Hirtshals is located at the very centre of the large seaport, on a landing platform between a host of piers dedicated to handling the cargo arriving across the North Sea. It’s a large, wood-panelled building of a modern, wedge-shaped design. Facilities here include ATM machines, a café selling hot drinks (but not food), a bank of payphones, toilets and a lift leading up to the undercover gangway that bridges the gap between the terminal and the docked ferries. A car-park with limited spaces can also be found out front. The main shopping centre of Hirtshals is only a 20-minute walk away from the harbour and a selection of shuttle buses outside the terminal whisk passengers to the nearby train station. The sole rail route travels the short distance south to the larger town of Hjørring, one of Denmark’s oldest boroughs. The E39 motorway skirting the edge of town is another of the major routes to and from the port; the road stretching away from the heart of the harbour to the sprawling riverside city of Aalborg under an hours’ drive south. A number of ferry lines operate from Hirtshals throughout the week. Services hosted by Fjord Line sail northwards to various locations across Norway, including the towns of Bergen, Stavanger, Langesund and Kristiansand, the latter also serviced by a Color Line service. Color Lines also make the short trip to the Norwegian port of Larvik, while longer-haul trips across the North Sea are offered by Smyril Lines who travel to Seydisfjordur in Iceland and Torshavn in the Faroe Islands.

Langesund Guide

Langesund Ferry Port

A small coastal town found in the south of Norway, Langesund is famous for its energetic vibe, particularly in the summer months when its full of life and colour. Fjord Line provide crossings out of the port to other coastal towns in Scandinavia, with the shortest sailing lasting around four hours and the longest sailing taking just less than a day. During summer the town has live music every evening, creating a cheerful, friendly vibe and providing endless entertainment. Langesund is a relatively small town, so all the major sights are within walking distance of each other; the trip to Tangen Fort is well worth a visit, especially during the summer months when visitors can easily access it by foot. As well as Tangen Fort, Bamble City Hall is one of the prominent sites in the area, and for those looking for something a bit different, Wrighthegaarden often has one of the top Norwegian artists performing there. The roads are unstable and fairly narrow, therefore it is difficult to navigate a car around the town centre. The uneven roads and close proximity of the major attractions mean that walking is the best option to get around, with the entirety of the city possible to cover in just under a day.
