About Esbjerg
Esbjerg is a seaport city on the west coast of Jutland in southwest Denmark and the country's fifth-largest city, with an urban population of 71,554. Originally established in 1868 as a replacement harbour after Denmark lost Altona to Germany, it became the country's principal fishing port and a key export centre. Today it is Denmark's main hub for offshore oil, gas, and wind energy industries.
The iconic Man Meets the Sea sculpture — four 9-metre white figures looking out to sea — is a landmark visible from the water. The Fisheries and Maritime Museum in Hjerting and the Tirpitz museum are major cultural attractions. The Esbjerg Performing Arts Centre (1997), designed by Jan and Jørn Utzon, hosts concerts and opera.
