What is your favourite?
Many visitors choose one starting point for their visit, often returning year after year to the same city. But many also discover that even if that one town is enough to make them choose to holiday there year after year, Vendsyssel has so much to offer. It's hard to fit it all in, but luckily time is your own in Vendsyssel.
Most visitors have a favourite city and wouldn't dream of booking a hotel, camping or holiday home anywhere other than the one city in Vendsyssel that they have visited for many years.
It's easy to become a local and be welcomed as such when you choose to holiday in the same town in Vendsyssel year after year. It also makes it difficult to do without your second home in North Jutland.
But a lot has happened in recent years, and visitors have started to explore Vendsyssel to a greater extent. People still live in the town where they usually holiday, but many enjoy exploring across Vendsyssel.
It has also meant that more people are now not content to spend a week's holiday here, but often come back for a long weekend or a short break at other times of the year.
While there are the obvious seaside resorts with perfect sandy beaches, ice cream parlours and classic holiday experiences, many visitors appreciate discovering the small villages and being captivated by their history. Or explore the many museums, exhibitions, galleries and speciality shops across Vendsyssel. From large attractions such as the Oceanarium in Hirtshals to spectacular museums and small, unique local experiences such as the fish auction in Strandby.
There are hidden gems along the river in Sæby, local adventures and tales like the one about the wolf in Ulsted. Rare birds in the great outdoors near Skagen, restaurants in all price ranges and, not least, the local Vendelanders, who are often good for an exciting story if you earn the right to have it told in the local mother tongue.
