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.
Starting at Nankes Plads with Bomhuset – an administrative office for customs and tolls.With a little imagination, it is easy to picture the country folk standing here with their horses and carts, waiting to enter the town with their wares to sell in the market place or in the courtyards of the merchant’s houses – which we will come to later on.
