There are some incredible Airbnb options in Ærø. Multiple locations allow you to sleep in converted granaries, bakeries, and farmhouses, which have now become comfortable accommodations. One of the most impressive is a seventeenth-century manor where King Frederik V stayed in 1750. Staying here is like experiencing a small part of Ærø’s history. Th...
Stay in a converted sea captain’s manor, built in 1784, where you’ll be cared for by the owner Susanna who serves afternoon tea to all her guests in her charming Danish garden. Vestergade 44bed and breakfast can be found up the street from the ferry station in Ærøskobing, so it’s easily accessible even on foot. There are a variety of rooms, each de...
The difference between a guest house and a bed-and-breakfast is that inside the guest house, you have ample access to the kitchen, living rooms and other parts of the house. It’s more like staying in a room in a large house, so you feel a part of a lively community of people. There are various guesthouses to choose from, so just look at what unique...
By Car
If you’re renting a car while visiting Ærø, you’ll find exploring the island incredibly easy. There is ample parking in town, and even if you want to stop your car along the roads, it’s easy enough to just pull over and enjoy the view. Most guesthouses and Airbnbs have parking options if you want to leave the car alone and spend the rest of your time on Ærø by foot or bike.
by Bus
If you arrived on the island without a car, you might wonder how you could get around. The island offers a free tourist bus which runs the length of the island from Søby to Marstal via Ærøskøbing. They depart about once an hour in each direction. For the complete timetable, you can check it out here. After 9 am, they accept bikes on the bus, so if you find yourself out of energy, this is always an option to help you get back to your lodging. Our guesthouse host picked us up from the ferry sta...
by Bike
Biking across the island was our main method of transportation. After settling down in your hotel or at your guesthouse, go about finding a bike. Every guesthouse or hotel will rent you a bike (usually for free) that you can ride all over the island. No bike locks are needed, as Ærø is the safest place in the world! Just park your bike anywhere that is safe from traffic and head on your way.
I wanted to break up the activities into various villages and areas of the island. This is a perfect way to break up your days. Take a bike ride to one village and explore what you find there. Don’t be scared to get lost. We often got off the main road or pathway and found various surprising treasures. All the different places to see are detailed o...
Walking around the old town
Truly my favourite thing to do while in the old fairy-tale village of Ærøskøbing was to explore the colourful, antiquated houses and cobblestone lanes. Some of these houses date back to the 1600s. And honestly haven’t been touched, except for a bit of new paint, ever since. The main road is great for spotting all these beautiful houses. But be sure to explore the side streets and alleys that veer off to find those hidden corners of the village which can unlock all sorts of secrets. Even after...
The Mirror Houses
Although it’s rumoured that no one locks their doors in this town, if you look closely, you’ll see many houses have strange mirrors outside their front windows. These mirrors are used to see the street from inside the house. But they weren’t used for security; they were for town gossip! In a town as small as this, gossip runs ripe, and it’s amazing to see these devices they created to make it easier to spy on their neighbours, something you wouldn’t see anywhere else in the world. We made it...
Torvet Square
The main town square is located outside of the Ærøskobing church. Although not labelled on any maps, you’ll see the words “Visdommens Kiled” marked where you’ll find the square. This, translated from Danish, means “the Source of Wisdom.” In the middle ages, meetings in the town square were the only way such a small village would learn about the day’s news or what was happening on the mainland. Today, in the busier summer months, marketplaces often sell goods and foods from across the island....
While Ærøskøbing might feel like a fairy-tale village, Marstal feels like a maritime museum. For centuries Marstal vessels have sailed the seven seas, and even today, its dock is full of commercial and personal boats. Marstal is the economic centre of Ærø and where you can find most day-to-day shops, like the largest supermarket on the island. Ærøs...
Søbyis the smallest of the main villages in Ærø. They call it the gateway to Europe as it is the northernmost point on the island and, therefore, the closest to the mainland of Europe. Today, you’ll find most of Ærø’s fishing fleet. Tourists looking to hire a boat to go out on the water to see if they can get the catch of the day often gather here ...
Bregninge Kirke
Biking over to the Bregninge kirke (Bregninge church) is a great way to explore the island’s centre. You’ll be able to spot it long before you arrive, as its tall black tower is visible above the treetops. But like the other churches on the island, they are all inland where the steeples cannot be seen from the water. This was a strategic piece of city planning done by the Islanders. This would prevent pirates from coming ashore in the middle ages as they would assume the peaceful island was u...
Bregninge Store Kro
Down from the Bregninge Church, you’ll find the adorable Bregninge Store Kro. This store is like a little flea market open year-round. Here you’ll find some treasured antiques from all around Denmark, making for a really unique souvenir. If you’re looking for a doorknob or drawer, pull. There are hundreds here to choose from, each with its own vintage charm.
The Vesterstrand Beach Huts
Down from Bregninge, you’ll find dozens of picturesque tiny huts lining a long stretch of sand. These beach huts are brightly coloured and designed to suit each owner’s personality. The miniature huts along the sand have been used here for generations. Once just simple wooden shelters, they are now incredibly functional getaways where locals enjoy picnics on their little balconies, which stretch out from under darling awnings. It was a bit rainy when we arrived, so no one else was on the beac...
Ærøskøbing Røgeri
Ærøskøbing Røgeriwas our favourite place to eat while we were in town. During the off-season and even on most weekends, many places close between 5-6pm. So we’d often pick up one of these meals to take back with us for a later dinner. The small restaurant serves smoked fish of all different varieties. Smoked fish is a local delicacy of the Danes and a must-try if you’ve never sampled it. You’ll smell that unique aroma of salt and fish when you walk inside. Try all their different side dishes,...
Cafe Aroma
If you’re looking for somewhere to eat in Aeroskobing, look no further than this absolutely adorable, colourful cafe. This cafe serves up some gourmet Danish treats made from local ingredients. Their charcuterie platters are great options if you want to try a variety of Danish delicacies. In the summer, the barbeque on the terrace is open and is a wonderful place to watch people while eating. If your hotel or guesthouse is in town, this cafe is also great for a morning cup of coffee. For dess...
An option for a fancy dinner in town is Restaurant Mumm. Reservations are recommended since it’s a popular joint, and there aren’t a lot of seats inside, especially during the busy summer season and on the weekends. But unlike Cafe Aroma, this restaurant is open all year long and even prides itself on having custom menus for each season, highlighting the different ingredients that time of year produces. The restaurant’s interior has a romantic candlelit atmosphere, while the terrace is overgr...
