Skagen is the most northerly point in Denmark and has the most spectacular scenery for that reason. Two parts of the North Sea meet here and the waves are often huge, with wrecks once common on the coast. A Skagen holiday rental is a sure way of seeing some amazing weather and if you are a photographer or artist you will be in seventh heaven.

Because of the wild seas, the headland which marks the most northerly point had a lighthouse, one of the earliest in the country which has been rebuilt as a copy in the town. When staying in your Skagen serviced residence, make sure to visit the dunes, where the tower of the church which once served the town can be seen, left as a sea marker when the rest of it was engulfed by the sand. The sea is such an important part of life in this northerly spot, that everything is ruled by it.

The incredible scenery attracted artists by the score and the museum in the town has a large collection of their work, something you must not miss when staying in a Skagen apartment rental. The town is very small, but it is impossible to resist daily walks by the sea, which is always different and it is likely that you will be able to hear the waves in your Skagen serviced apartment, lulling you to sleep at night. The nightlife is quiet as you might imagine, but there is a very famous hotel in the town which you should try and visit when in your Skagen aparthotel. This is Brøndum’s Hotel, where the Skagen artists began to gather and where the museum was begun.

Skagen holiday lets are all about having a quiet time and there is not much nearby, but the peace of the place will draw you in. There is a midsummer festival, common to many Scandinavian countries, and if you would like to join in, make sure you book your Skagen short stay apartment to coincide with it. Although midsummer’s eve is 20 June, the festival is not always on that exact night, so it pays to check.

Before setting out on your Skagen holiday apartment stay you will gain a lot by studying the geography of the area, which will explain a lot of what you will see. Because it is at a place where two straits meet – which separate Denmark from Norway to the West and Sweden to the East – you will be able to see the waves literally crash together in the middle as they meet. This is a very rare sight in the world, and as good a reason as any for staying in a Skagen serviced apartment.
