- Landmark
Det Gamle Rådhus (The Old Town Hall)

Fregatten <i>Jylland</i>
Moored at the harbor, the Jylland is the oldest man-of-war in Denmark (1860) and the world's longest wooden ship at 71m (233 ft.).

Ebeltoft Shopping
Since the mid-1980s, Ebeltoft has become Denmark's "glass kingdom." There are no fewer than six local glassworks producing and selling blown-glass items. At several of the studios, it's possible to see the workshops where glass bowls, vases, wine glasses, and beautiful dishes are created in the glowing furnace. You can visit various workshops and purchase glass at such outlets as Glasværkstedet, Skindergade 5 (tel. 86-34-08-89); Glaspusteriet, Kystvejen 169 (tel. 86-34-49-58); and Ebeltoft Glas, Nedergade 19 (tel. 86-34-35-66).
Ebeltoft Nightlife
The best place to gather in the evening is Den Skæve Bar, Overgade 23 (tel. 86-34-37-97), an English-style pub in a building dating from 1683. This is often the venue for live music, including folk, rock, blues, and jazz.
