Svendborg - a Charming Town on South Funen

13 December 2021 Maria | Historian | Intern

On the southern Funen you find the lovely town Svendborg - as an opening towards the South Funen Archipelago. Therefore, the title "Capital of the Archipelago" also seems appropriate for Svendborg. The town also has a long history within shipping, and still to this day plays an important role in maritime Denmark. With its active commercial port and maritime education at Svendborg Maritime School. Lots of good sights are close to Svendborg.

Svendborg is also the perfect place to start if you want to visit some of the islands in the South Funen Archipelago. The Svendborgsund Bridge connects the tow with Tåsinge – from where it is possible to continue to the islands Siø and Langeland, also via bridges. While there are several daily ferry departures from the port of Svendborg towards Ærø. If you want to experience Svendborg itself, the port and harbour is also a good place to start.
