Major city · Denmark
Maribo
Give Maribo one night, or a half-day stop between Nakskov and Nykøbing: cathedral, convent ruin and a lakeside walk, then move on.
Maribo is Lolland's inland junction town, 5,700 people, built around a 15th-century convent whose church is now the cathedral. The reason to stop is the lake edge: Søndersø and the surrounding Maribo Lakes National Park, plus Bangs Have park with its open-air museum and the Bandholm museum railway. Trains and buses both meet here, so it works as a night between Nakskov and Nykøbing Falster rather than a destination in itself.

Rules in force · 7Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Nordic countries ↗Decide light or dark before anything else: summer trips (June–August) and aurora trips (September–March in the Arctic) need different countries, clothes and bases.
- Nordic countries ↗Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroes sell stronger alcohol only in state shops with short hours; buy before evening and before Sundays and holidays.
- Denmark ↗Denmark is in the EU and the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; Greenland and the Faroe Islands have separate entry arrangements.
- Denmark ↗Bike lanes are busy fast lanes: do not walk or stand in them, and signal before you stop if you cycle.
- Denmark ↗Denmark is close to cashless: cards and phone payments work almost everywhere, even for small amounts.

Watch out
Safety
- Local buses run a handful of times a day: check times before you rely on one.
- The tourist office and several small museums keep short, seasonal hours: check before travelling for them.
- The pub by the station is a very local spot; if you want a quiet drink, the cafés on the main street are easier.
- Outside the centre, pavements and lighting thin out quickly after dark.
