10. Fantastic guest house in Vesterby
Stay in an incredibly serene house in one of the oldest parts of Skagen. The house is an elegant house with simple and tasteful white and black decor. It is a short walk away from the beach and about 400 meters (1312 ft) from the Royal Summer House, which was where the Danish royal family used to spend their summer holidays. Though the house is in a tranquil area, it is within walking distance from the beach and harbour, delicious seafood restaurants, and about a ten-minute walk to the city center.
