Introduction

Population

The town has approximately 25,000 inhabitants. 

Location

Frederikshavn is located in the north of Denmark's east coast, on the Kattegat, the strait that divides the Danish mainland from Sweden. The landscape directly north and south of town is flat, but driving west you'll cross the hills of Jutland.

Economy

The town has an important ferry port, with connections to Norway and Sweden. Fishing and processing of the fish also form important sources of income. In Denmark 'frederikshavner' denotes a particular quality plaice. The Danish marine also has a base here. The beaches draw many tourists every year. Frederikshavn profiles itself as eco city; in 2015 the entire city is to rely exclusively on renewable energy. This way the city wants to demonstrate the possibilities of (Danish) energy technology.

Traffic and Parking

The recharger stations at the municipal parking lots where you can recharge the batteries of electronic cars are a curiosity in Frederikshavn. It's not compulsory to drive a car that runs on renewable energy (see Economy) in Frederikshavn, as it's hard to come by in the rest of Denmark.
