Voykit pocket guide · Denmark

Korsør

Skip Korsør unless you need a quick lunch by the marina or a stop on the Copenhagen–Jutland train line: 1–2 hours is enough.

Korsør is a small port town of 14,000 on the west coast of Zealand, best known as the last stop before the Great Belt Bridge to Funen. Its main draw is the marina with views of the bridge and a handful of seafood restaurants. Most travellers pass through on the InterCity train between Copenhagen and Jutland, and a short stop is enough to see the waterfront.
