Major city · Denmark
Fjerritslev
Skip as a base unless you have a car: 1 night for the museum and Aggersborg, or 2–3 nights if you want the coast, Vejlerne and Bulbjerg.
Fjerritslev is a 3,300-person town in Han Herred, the strip between the North Sea and the Limfjord, roughly halfway between Thisted and Aalborg. It is not a sight-heavy town: the draw is the surrounding nature (Bulbjerg cliff, Vejlerne wetlands, the North Sea beaches) and Viking-era Aggersborg. Buses are thin and stop in school holidays, so a car or bike changes what you can do here.

Rules in force · 7Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Nordic countries ↗Decide light or dark before anything else: summer trips (June–August) and aurora trips (September–March in the Arctic) need different countries, clothes and bases.
- Nordic countries ↗Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroes sell stronger alcohol only in state shops with short hours; buy before evening and before Sundays and holidays.
- Denmark ↗Denmark is in the EU and the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; Greenland and the Faroe Islands have separate entry arrangements.
- Denmark ↗Bike lanes are busy fast lanes: do not walk or stand in them, and signal before you stop if you cycle.
- Denmark ↗Denmark is close to cashless: cards and phone payments work almost everywhere, even for small amounts.

Getting around
The town itself is walkable on two legs. For anything else — Bulbjerg, Vejlerne, Aggersborg, the coast — you need a car or a bicycle. Local buses are limited and do not run on school holidays, which overlap with peak summer tourism.
