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.
After a quick tour along the fishing harbour, we have reached Korsør Fortress – also known as the Coastal Battery. The well-preserved medieval tower here is well worth a visit, as is the great Magazine building of King Christian IV, which now houses the Korsør Town and Crossing Museum. Take a walk around the Fortress construction and enjoy the view from the top of the bastions.
