Grenå

Spend a half‑day to a full day in Grenå: 2–4 h for the Kattegat Center or a beach, plus optional museum visits.

Grenå is a small coastal town at the tip of Djursland, reachable by train, ferry or car. Its main draws are the Kattegat Center aquarium, a historic windmill, and easy beach access. One day covers the key sights; add extra time for nearby Ebeltoft or a beach day.
