Fyrkroen 1772

Zealand


Beside Gilleleje's eastern lighthouse, the great attraction of this 18th-century inn is its fabulous terrace looking across the water towards Sweden. The place is primarily a restaurant whose food gets mixed reviews, but if you come here mid-afternoon in summer you might be able to simply nurse a beer while surveying the scene.
