For the last 6 years Korsør hosted tourists from 9 cruise ships. The town is situated around a harbour which for centuries has been an important part of its inhabitants' daily life. To move from the southern part of the town to the northern, or vice versa, citizens have to pass over a bridge which at certain times of the day will be raised in order to let ships in or out of the fiord. Boats, vessels, merchant ships and the occasional cruise liner are regular visitors.
Slagelse is West Zealand's largest shopping town with shopping centres, cosy and attractive squares and lively café life. The town also has an active cultural life with Slagelse Teater, the region's largest auditorium, Krabasken, Denmark's largest amateur theatre and Slagelse Musikhus, with its fantastic concert hall.
