Sea wall and back
Out past the fish market, along the wall to the light, and back through the lanes. Windy in winter, perfect at dusk.
City Notes
Transport, markets, walks, and late food. Nobody pays to be listed here, and we take nothing from anywhere we mention.
Getting here and getting about
From the airport
Airport train to Central, then tram 12 to Ankerplass. Forty minutes door to door, runs until half past midnight.
By car
Possible but pointless. The quay is permit-only; the nearest garage is eight minutes away and charges by the hour.
Ferries
Island ferry every hour from the pier opposite, 07:00 to 21:00. Ten minutes each way and worth doing once.
On foot
The strip, the market, the museum, and both theatres are inside a fifteen-minute walk. You will not need transport again.
Three walks
Old town circuit
Uphill through the merchants' streets to the church terrace, then down the steps behind the concert hall.
Island crossing
Ferry across, coast path to the far jetty, coffee at the hut, ferry back. Take a jacket even in July.

If you are out past midnight and hungry, the counter in our galley is open until two. It is cold food, but it is there and it costs nothing.
We have no commercial relationship with any venue on the strip. Nothing on this page recommends gambling, and none of it is advice about odds, systems, or outcomes.
