Nordby

Nordby - The Capital

The maritime history is visible everywhere. The old fishermen's houses, the street names, and the 2 museums, Skibsfart & Dragtsamlingen and Fanø Museum. Nordby is the center of many cultural activities on Fanø.

The ferry to Fanø goes from Esbjerg to Nordby. From the ferry, you will already get the first impression of the island and Nordby. A small, cosy town characterised by the many lovely houses from the 19th century and surrounded by beautiful nature.

The closeness to nature is already felt at the harbour. From the promenade, one can sit and enjoy the many wading birds. Moreover, seals often lie on the small sandbank only 50 metres from the harbour.

In comparison with old photographs, you can see that many of the small streets and paths have not changed significantly for centuries. You shouldn’t let yourself miss out on the great experience it is to walk about in the small crooked streets in Nordby.

Nordby is also a modern and active little town. With its 2,800 inhabitants, Nordby is the commercial and administrative centre on Fanø. Town Hall, the Health Centre, the Public Library, the Sports Centre, the Tourist Office and other institutions are located here.
