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.
The town of Korsør is surrounded by a great deal of natural beauty with numerous possibilities for walkers and bikers. A network of tracks lead the locals and their visitors along beaches and through woods both north and south of the town centre. The southern track along the seaside towards the town of Skælskør is particularly popular with the changing landscapes of cliffs and meadows and a perfect view to the neighbouring islands.
