    A short stay here was a recommendation of our guidebook as a contrast to Copenhagen. We based ourselves in Aeroskobing which is where the ferry from Svendborg docks. Aeroskobing has the reputation as the best preserved historic village in the country and you can see why. From the moment you walk off the dockside, you feel that you are transported into a different century. All the houses mainly from the 18th century are painted in beautiful pastel colours and all perfectly maintained. There are a couple of much older late 17th century houses that survived a later fire in the village. No traffic is allowed in the centre. It is primarily still a residential area but there are a number of independent cafes and shops to cater for the tourists who travel to the island.
    We stayed at Hotel Pa Torvet in the main square, a delightful family-owned hotel. A mid afternoon arrival and a mid afternoon departure the following day allows sufficient time to gain a flavour of the island. It gives sufficient time to wander around the main village the afternoon you arrive. An excellent meal was enjoyed at nearby Mumm restaurant in the evening.
    The following day a bicycle trip around the island is strongly recommended. On the advice of the hotel proprietor we used Aldelen guesthouse who provide a cycle rental service. Adam the owner was excellent in helping to plan a mainly flat route around parts of the island well away from most traffic (not that there is a great deal) and we spent an enjoyable three hours gently pedalling around the island on quiet roads and tracks with visits to the 13th century Breginge Kirke and the wild coast at Voderup Klint. A late lunch near the dockside and a return ferry completed our short visit.
    It is perfectly possible to reach the island solely by public transport and the views along the way of rural Denmark are most rewarding. We took the train from Copenhagen to Nyborg (1½ hours) then a bus to Svendborg for an hour (buses are immediately outside the station), then the ferry (less than 10 minutes’ walk from the station) to Aeroskobing (1 hour 15 minutes). We returned by train to Odense which has a direct connection from Svendborg.

    A great local museum that gives you a taste of the seafaring history of Ærø. It has an amazing collection of art that shows so beautifully the life of early Denmark and its seafaring past. There are lots of small seafaring treasures donated from the local community as much as from other sources. This gives you a very complete picture of the shipbuilding past especially. It is spread over 3 buildings each with their own focus. It is interesting for kids and also for adults. There are facilities for wheelchair users and there are good bathrooms. It takes about 2 hours to see it. There are some fun hands on things to try and the staff are really sweet and their English is really good...which when you are a tourist is really appreciated. Well done. We will be back next summer!

    We visited the church on a morning cycling trip from Aeroskobing. It is clear the building which dates from the 13th century is lovingly maintained. It is quite small, and a visit only takes a few minutes but don’t miss a couple a little quirks, one near the alter which has a self-portrait of the artist who originally painted the church, the other if you look up when seated in the third pew on the left that used to house a rope tied to a bell. During medieval times, the ringing bell would call those too ill or contagious to be allowed into church to take communion. This was distributed through two square hatches near the alter which can still be seen.
    There is a toilet in the grounds of the church.

    The tour is given in English on Wednesdays. Since one of our two nights in Aeroskobing was a Wednesday, we decided to participate in this tour. It was delightful! We learned a lot about the history of the town, the buildings, the culture and customs of the folks who lived in Aeroskobing in the past, what life is like there now. All of it was presented in a very entertaining way. The Nightwatchman is friendly and engaging. We loved his great sense of humor. We thought the tour would be about an hour long but it lasted for nearly 90 minutes on our night. That wasn't too long. On the contrary, he was so much fun to listen to, we'd have kept going! Highly recommended!

    We visited this as part of a self-guided morning cycle tour from Aeroskobing. It is also accessible by car, there is a small car park on the ridge just before climbing down steps to the beach. At the car park, there are also toilets and adjacent to the steps, a few picnic tables with elevated views over the coast.
    The beach itself is not the best and being on the Baltic side of the island it is much cooler and windier, but it is good for a short visit to view a different part of the island and a good stop off point on a tour of Aero.

    Great views from the top of the tower. The access is quite narrow and stairs are steep. You pay a small amount on MobilePay, bit for tourists is might be difficult. There is no control of the payments.

    Marstal church was built in 1738.
    The 7 church ships suspended in the church tell how close the town was related to the sea.
    The beautiful altarpiece was painted by Jens Erik Carl Rasmussen in 1881 and depicts Jesus silencing the storm on Lake Genesis.
    The church is absolutely worth a visit

    Athough this museum is not opened for most of the year, one can still enjoy one of the most hobbit looking half-timbered houses from the outside. At the same time, a stroll through the streets of Aeroskobing to appreciate the charm of other other half-timbered houses that give the town its unique look is well worth it.

    This small museum in the delightful Danish village of AEroskobing, on the island of AEro, is dedicated to the life work of a man called Peter Jacobsen, who started making sailing ships in bottles as a young man in the late 1890s. He went on to make about 1700, including some in cigar boxes and all complete with scenery. The museum is in the former Poor House where Peter and his Scottish wife live for many years.It's a fascinating collection and although there may be finer examples elsewhere, his work is quite astonishing, with the detail and craftsmanship that went onto each one.

    A short walk from town. this is a picturesque beach. Even if you do not get in the water it is worth a visit. Cabins are colorful, and as you walk you have on one side the bay, and on the other the ocean.

    The outstanding and respected painter Rita Lund has lived for a number of years in a house in Marstal on the Danish island of Ærø in the South Funen archipelago. Throughout these years, she has participated in countless acknowledged art exhibitions world wide and she has stuck her name as a highly skilled painter.
    She has in the house at Ærø both private residence and gallery. If you are on Ærø, whether on holiday or for business purposes, then you have to go past Rita Lund's Gallery. And you can be prepared to leave the gallery with your head filled with sensory impressions and a painting under your arm.
