Tourist Guide

Blavandshuk Fyr on a sunny winter afternoon
Happy walk through Varde city's old town on a great summer's day. West Jutland, Region Southern Denmark.
Aerial panorama of the downtown of the city Varde in Denmark on a sunny summer day.

Enjoy the view from the top of Denmark's most westerly point, experience the nature of the North Sea and Vadehavet, or treat yourself to a spot of shopping in the centre of the town.

A holiday in Varde is an experience for the whole family. Varde is not far from the roaring North Sea. Aim your windsurfer-sail towards Hvidbjerg Beach, or go for a swim and sunbathe at Henne Beach and Blåvand Beach.

If you prefer relaxing days with a good atmosphere, cafes and shopping, then Varde is the perfect choice for you. It is a lively commercial town centred around the beautiful St. Jacobi church and the historical town centre. In the middle of the square, you’ll also find the Varde Museum.

If you are bringing the entire family on holiday to Varde, you will have to go quickly to experience it all. Take a trip to Varde Fritidscenter, where you’ll find a bowling alley, a modern swimming pool with a wave machine, a 200-feet slide and spring boards. If the weather is good you can go to Lepus Outrup Action Park, while rainy days are more fun in the large indoor play area, Legeborgen Varde.

Does holiday mean adventure and physical activities for you? Then why not play golf at Varde Golf Club – a fun golf experience for the entire family. Try Golf Park West, which has an 18-hole adventure mini-golf course, a playground, a trampoline and a football pitch. Or how about Varde Football Golf, which combines the best from the worlds of golf and football.

If you like nature, go and explore the National Park Vadehavet or the Nature Park Vesterhavet, (Nature Park North Sea) which offers unique nature experiences all year round. You can also go to the top of the tourist attraction Blåvandshuk Light House and enjoy the fantastic views from the most westerly point in Denmark, and even a spot of fishing on Varde Å.

Visitors come to Varde for many reasons: calm surroundings, beautiful nature and family-friendly activities. If you want to explore the local surroundings outside of Varde, then the beautiful commercial town of Esbjerg is just around the corner.

Nice stay, but a coffee machine or kettle in the room would be nicer. Instead, I must go downstairs to a small "coffee room" and get coffee (or hot water for tea) from a machine and carry the cup back to my room.
