The Courthouse on the main square was designed by Hans Christian Amberg and completed in 1892 when the town had only 4,000 inhabitants.
The red-brick building with stepped gables, round-arched windows and a tower reaching 30 m (98 ft) in height resembles a medieval castle.
After comprehensive renovation work in 2010, it is now used as a venue for weddings and houses the tourist office.

Man Meets the Sea (Mennesket ved Havet) is a monument of four 9-metre-tall (27 feet) white-coloured men located to the west of Esbjerg, overlooking Sædding Beach.
One of the area's major tourist attractions, the sculpture was designed by Svend Wiig Hansen and installed on 28 October 1995.
It was funded by the Esbjerg Municipality authorities, the Kunstfond arts foundation and private sponsors to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the municipality in 1994.
The monument can be seen by ferry leaving or entering Esbjerg.

The water tower from 1895 was designed by Christian Hjerrild Clausen who had been inspired by Nuremberg's medieval Nassauer Haus.
Standing at the top of a cliff, it commands excellent views of the city and the harbour from its platform which is open to the public.
The imposing old Courthouse Building on the central square with its tall tower and stepped gables has recently been fully renovated.
A bronze equestrian statue of Christian IX, the founder of Esbjerg, stands at the centre of the square.

The largest hotel in Esbjerg is Hotel Britannia.
Other hotels in the city center includes Cabinn and Hotel Ansgar in Skolegade.
Danhostel Esbjerg in a former high school is located about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the northwest of the city along Gammel Vardevej near sports facilities.
An eqvivalent distance North are hotel and conference facilities at ECH Park.
Most of the restaurants in Esbjerg are to the east of Torvet.
Of particular note are Sand's Restaurant which serves Danish cuisine such as smørrebrød, meatballs, smoked eels and the fried beef patty pariserbof, and the Paddy Go Easy Irish pub near the main square.
Housed in a listed building on the main square, Dronning Louise serves everything from full meals to sandwiches and occasionally offers live music.
