Rødby

Visit Rødby for a few hours to see the ferry terminal and Amber Museum; stay one night if you want a relaxed evening or to catch an early ferry.

Rødby is a small Lolland town centred on the Rødbyhavn ferry port to Puttgarden, Germany. The harbour, Amber Museum and nearby Lalandia water park can be seen in a half‑day; a night gives time for a relaxed dinner and easy ferry connections.

  • Home visit: Shoes off; bring flowers or wine; say 'tak for mad' after the meal; avoid: Leaving right after eating
