Local tips
- Request a room or apartment facing the square if you enjoy people-watching and the sound of the bells; choose a rear-facing option for a quieter, more secluded feel.
- Plan to linger over breakfast; the spread typically includes fresh baked goods, local cheeses and a changing warm egg dish that rewards an unhurried start.
- Pack layers and a windproof jacket even in summer so you can comfortably enjoy the outdoor café tables and evening walks to the nearby harbor or beach.
- If you are travelling for a wedding or special occasion, book the suite or an apartment well ahead, as island events can quickly fill the limited number of rooms.
- Use Ærøskøbing as a base and take advantage of the island buses or rental bikes to explore beaches, countryside and viewpoints, returning to the square each evening.

Discover more about På Torvet
Life on the Old Island Square
På Torvet sits directly on Ærøskøbing’s cobbled market square, surrounded by crooked half-timbered houses, hollyhocks and the gentle rhythm of village life. From the front door you look straight onto the town’s painted facades and the church tower rising above the rooftops, a setting that feels untouched by time. In summer the square hums with cyclists, clinking coffee cups and the distant sound of the harbor, while cooler months bring a softer, more contemplative atmosphere. Inside, the building’s 19th‑century bones are still evident in sloping ceilings, small stairways and old windows framing snippets of the square below. Yet the overall impression is one of light, airy comfort rather than museum piece: white walls, simple Scandinavian lines and a relaxed, coastal palette that echoes the island outside.Rooms with a Sense of Calm
With just a handful of double rooms, several apartments and a suite, På Torvet feels intimate and unhurried. Each unit has its own bathroom, along with thoughtful touches such as a kettle and small fridge so you can brew tea after a windswept walk or chill a bottle of island cider. Some spaces face the square, letting you watch the daily ebb and flow below; others look towards quieter courtyards and side streets. Apartments add living and dining areas and a bit more independence, suiting longer stays or small groups who want a homelike base in the middle of town. The suite, tucked under the old roofline, pairs character details with extra space, an appealing option for couples treating themselves on a wedding or anniversary trip, for which Ærø is well known.Breakfast and Café on Your Doorstep
Mornings at På Torvet revolve around a generous breakfast, typically featuring fresh rolls and croissants, Danish cheeses, cold cuts, fruit and a changing warm egg dish. You eat either in the cosy interior or at outdoor tables on the square when the weather cooperates, watching locals cycle past on errands while church bells mark the hour. Later in the day, the on-site café opens to both guests and passers-by. Here the focus is on simple, well-made treats, good coffee and drinks that suit the easy pace of island life. For many visitors the real luxury lies not in formality but in being able to step outside your room and immediately find a pleasant spot to sit, sip and watch the light change over the square.Ærøskøbing’s Storybook Setting
From På Torvet, Ærøskøbing is literally at your feet. Within a few minutes’ stroll, cobbled lanes lined with pastel townhouses lead down to the harbor, where wooden boats sit alongside ferries bringing arrivals from the mainland. Just beyond are small town beaches and bathing jetties, popular for a morning dip in summer and bracing walks the rest of the year. The town’s small scale makes it easy to explore its maritime heritage, churches and courtyards on foot, while the wider island awaits by bicycle or bus. Rolling fields, wind-sheltered coves and sea views in every direction make På Torvet a practical base for exploring by day and returning to the glow of the square by evening.Staying on the Wedding Island
Ærø has gained a special reputation as a place for intimate weddings, and Ærøskøbing’s town hall is a short walk from På Torvet. The hotel’s combination of central location, characterful rooms and relaxed atmosphere suits couples arriving to marry on the island, as well as friends and family accompanying them. Even outside of wedding season, there is a quietly celebratory feel to staying here: lingering over breakfast, people-watching on the square, and venturing out for golden-hour photos among the hollyhocks and harbor. Whether you are here for a single night on a coastal journey or several days of slow island living, På Torvet offers a front-row seat to everyday life in one of Denmark’s most atmospheric small towns.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
