Tourist Guide Esbjerg
Esbjerg is nestled in the Jutland peninsula in south-western Denmark and is home to approximately 114,000 inhabitants. It was labelled Denmark’s gateway to the West and is still an important Danish port.
Esbjerg has a temperate climate with high levels of humidity and unpredictable weather changes. The summer months May to August are the best time to visit with temperatures ranging around 25°C, but at times, it can get uncomfortably hot with temperatures reaching 35°C.
A thriving fishing industry made the city’s harbour the hub of major economic activity. With the discovery of oil and natural gas in the North Sea, Esbjerg has also become Denmark’s prime player in offshore oil drilling activities.
