The garden pavillion at the harbour.
cachaseiro Says: At the harbour in Faaborg you have a little garden pavillion that was originally made by a wealthy merchant so that he could sit there with his family and have afternoon tea, or whatever drink he preferred while watching the life at the harbour.These days it´s part of a...

cachaseiro Says: Faaborg has a turkish take away too.This is one of the best i have tried in Denmark though and the durum rolls they make there are brilliant.Way above what you get in most copenhagen places for instance.This is mainly because they bake the bread on the spot for you and that...
Det hvide pakhus.: Nice restaurant by the seafront.
cachaseiro Says: Det hvide pakhus is one of the nicest restaurants in town.It serves well prepared food and also has a good selection of wine and danish micro brews.I would consider most of the food quite local but there is quite a french touch to it too.It´s not the cheapest place to eat,...

Sjalen Says: You can get to and from Fåborg in many ways by sea and also make daytrips using it as a base. There are regular sailings to the islands of Bjørnø, Lyø, Avernakø and not least Ærø (Søby). You can also go to Als from Claus' village of Bøjden nearby.
Sjalen Says: The tourist office (with more generous summer opening hours of course) have lots of bike for rent. I suggest a tour of Svanninge Bakker if you can muster up the energy to tackle the hills. Fåborg itself is just as easy to walk around on foot.

The little canals at the harbour.

A quiet village off the beaten path in Fyn (Funen)
From Aarhus to the islands south of Funen, Faaborg was a pleasant stop. As it goes for many, Faaborg is a peaceful, uncrowded, place characteristic of Danish understatement.
