There is a direct connection to the harbour in Esbjerg with motorway E20 or main road 11/24 – GPS: Dokvej 5, DK: 6700 Esbjerg

You can bring your car to Fanø, or park it at the ferry terminal in Esbjerg, which is for free and safe.

You do not need a car on Fanø, if you choose to stay in Nordby. Everything is within walking distance.

By train or bus

Also public transportation to Esbjerg works very well. If you wish to come by train, you just plot Esbjerg as your destination.  If you come by (Flix-) bus, you will need to change from bus to train at Kolding.

By plane

If you wish to come by plane the nearest airport is Billund Airport, which is 45 km from Fanø. An airport shuttle (Bus 944x) leaves every hour from Billund to Esbjerg.

In order to catch the last ferry for Fanø, you should not arrive at Billund later than 8pm. Both Copenhagen and Hamburg Airports are 3 hours away from Fanø. If you wish to continue from the airport by train I recommend Copenhagen Airport, but if you wish to continue by renting a car, I recommend Hamburg airport. From Copenhagen please consider the bridge toll, by car.

You can learn a lot more about Fanø from our local tourist office:
