- Faaborg Museum — A compact but impressive art museum focused on Funen painters and Danish modern art; the galleries and changing exhibitions make it a cultural must for anyone wanting Faaborg’s artistic side up close.
- Faaborg Harbour (Faaborg Havn) — The beating heart of the town: lined with colourful old houses, working quays, small cafés and fishing boats. Great for a slow walk, people-watching, and watching the tide come and go.
- Old Town and Merchant Houses — Wander the narrow cobbled streets and between the half-timbered merchants’ homes and hidden courtyards to feel the town’s trading history and discover tucked-away shops and cafés.
- Faaborg Miniby (The Miniature Town) — A lovingly crafted scale model of Faaborg as it once looked. It’s small but packed with detail and a fun, tangible

- Faaborg Miniby (The Miniature Town) — A lovingly crafted scale model of Faaborg as it once looked. It’s small but packed with detail and a fun, tangible way to understand the town’s original layout and architecture.
- Vor Frue Kirke (Faaborg Church) — The town’s main church — visit for its architecture, interior details and the quiet view it gives over parts of the old town from its grounds.
- Faaborg Torv (Market Square) — The social centre: open-air market stalls in season, terraces for coffee or beer, and a real sense of local life. Good spot to pause and watch Faaborg go about its day.
- Søndre Strand / Town Beaches — Easy-access beaches just a short walk from town where locals swim and relax in summer; clean water, sand or grass spots to picnic, and simple seaside vibes without long travel.
- Faaborg Marina & Ferry Quays — More than a place to tie up boats: the ferry connections to the South Funen Archipelago leave from here. Even if you don’t sail, the small-boat traffic and shoreline activity are entertaining to watch.
- Harbour Workshops and Boatbuilders — The working side of Faaborg: small shipyards, craft workshops and boat-restoration spots along the waterfront where you can see traditional skills and local maritime life in action.
- Skansepark and Old Ramparts — Small green spaces and remnants of defensive earthworks near the harbour offer a viewpoint into Faaborg’s strategic past and are pleasant for a short, peaceful stroll away from the busiest streets.
