About Esbjerg
The city of Esbjerg is Denmark's fifth largest city with a population of 71.500 (2024). It was established around the harbour, which the state had built here in 1868 as a replacement for the harbour in Altona (nowHamburg), lost in the 1864 war with Germany, that had been Denmark's most important North Sea harbour. In 1874, Esbjerg became connected by rail toFredericiaandVarde. Esbjerg is also today an important harbour for all of Denmark, as off-shore industry, transport, energy, and commercial fishing forms the backbone of the city. However, there are also cultural attractions here as well to experience.
