Næstved

One full day covers the zoo, museum and Gavnø Castle; add a half‑day for BonBon‑Land if you travel with kids.

Næstved is a modest town on Zealand with a zoo, historic museum and nearby Gavnø Castle. A single day lets you see the main sights; families may want extra time for the nearby theme park.
