Faaborg

The cosy market town of Faaborg is located on Faaborg Fjord in the south of Funen and has about 7000 inhabitants. Take a walk through the cosy streets and see the well-preserved old houses. From the harbour in Faaborg there are ferry connections to several islands in the South Funen archipelago such as Bjørnø, Lyø, Avernakø and Ærø. These interesting islands are like pearls on a string and are certainly worth a visit.

If you are interested in art or history, you can visit some of the town's museums: the Faaborg Museum has an exhibition on Funen painting, the Øhavsmuseet, which is housed in the old railway station from 1882, or the Arresten, which is an exciting museum for the whole family that gives an insight into prison life past and present.
