Gilleleje

Gilleleje is a lively tourist, commercial and fishing town. Its heart is the fishing port, Sealand's largest.






 
Gilleleje lies in Gribskov Municipality, at Sealand's northernmost point, Gilbjerghoved. The town has preserved many of the idyllic cosy streets and thatched houses built when it was a fishing village.

An attractive holiday destination

While still a commercial fishing town, Gilleleje attracts many tourists every year from home and abroad. The Kattegat's many fine beaches, the varied countryside and proximity to Copenhagen’s many cultural attractions make Gilleleje an attractive holiday destination.







Gilleleje is also a commercial town, with a range and quality to match much bigger towns. It has a lively cultural scene with annual folk festivals and events, e.g. Bakkefest (traditional summer party), Havnefest (harbour gala), Jazz at the Harbour, Kunstrunden (art fair) and Kunst i Filet'en (art exhibition).
