Helpfulness
Esbjerg is on the southern westcoast of Danmark and going there by car is a bit boring and you have to take side-roads passing through lots of small villages, where you have to speed down, so calculate some extra time when driving there. The next real highway is in a distance of about 80km, but when you get close to Esbjerg you will also find a few kms of a highway-like road like in my 1st photo.
Once that you are in Esbjerg you will find a lot of good Parking-lots for your car, free of charge and pretty close to the pedestrian zone of Kongsgade in the centre of town.

Esbjerg is an important port and that might be one of the reasons, why they have an excellent train-connection. Several direct trains each day from Copenhagen will take you within ca. 3 hours to Esbjerg, from Aarhus direct trains take about 2 hours, and also to the closeby town of Ribe you can take the train from here.
Below you will find a link to the danish train-system !

Esbjerg has a direct line to Copenhagen (around 3 hours journey) with trains every three hours or so daytime, and there are also several trains to Arhus. Changing at nearby Bramming, you can also get to historic Ribe easily.

Ferries sail to Esbjerg from Harwich in England at least twice a week. At the moment, the DFDS Scandinavian Seaways use the "Dana Sirena" which is a freight liner renovated to also suite a small amount of passengers and this makes it quite a relaxed crossing as you have just enough to make the 17 hour crossing comfortable - a couple of restaurants, a bar, a cafe, small shop, kids playroom and a deck bar, whilst having none of the rowdyness of bigger ferries with discos and lots of parties going on. Cabins come for between 2-6 people and several have TV apart from being en suite. I certainly hope to use it more frequently. Some years ago, I took the Gothenburg to Harwich and then Newcastle ferry, run by the same company until it was discontinued in 2006, but in fact I prefer this route now that I am in the south of Sweden, especially since it cuts travel time by nearly six hours as you are already by the North Sea coast when you start off in Denmark.

By car. The town should be within easy reach from most places in central mainland Denmark or even northern Germany, but of course it's quite a long way away if you happen to be in Copenhagen ...
On a bike. But beware - as far as I know there's only one place in Esbjerg where you can rent a bike, so better bring your own! (Where to rent a bike? According to us, this is the only place to rent one: Skraentens Cykelwerksted, Villy Hundrup, Hj. Skraenten/Kirkegade 6700 Esbjerg tel.: 75-457505)

Trains in Denmark are amongst the best in Europe. Clean, on-time, frequent, family carriages....ahh if only we had such a service in the UK. Takes about two/three hours to Copenhagen.
