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.
Whether you arrive in Korsør by foot, bike, car or boat you cannot avoid seeing the impressive landmark, the suspension bridge across the Great Belt. Inaugurated in 1998 following the opening of the tunnel and the low bridge in 1997 it finalized the "Fixed Link" between Zealand and Funen. This link comprises the East Bridge, a 6790 m long suspension bridge between Zealand and the small island of Sprogø, a 6611 m long combined rail and road bridge between Sprogø and Funen and an 8000 m long immersed rail way tunnel between Zealand and Sprogø. – The bridge between Zealand and the isle of Sprogø is the largest suspension bridge in Europe.
