The Gate to the Archipelago

One of Denmark’s oldest market towns, Faaborg is nestled between the hills of Svanninge Bakker and the South Fyn Archipelago.

Faaborg is incredibly picturesque, with roses climbing up the old houses in the narrow cobblestone streets. The old merchant’s houses have been preserved, as has the old bell tower – the town’s landmark.

Today, Faaborg is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts and has a lively art and culture scene. With its three ferries connecting Bjørnø, Lyø, Avernakø and Ærø to the mainland, Faaborg is truly the gate to the archipelago.
