Discover Nykøbing Falster: Culture, Water and Family Experiences

Nykøbing Falster is situated on the Guldborgsund and combines waterfront experiences, unusual museums, historical culture and activities for families. If you are looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home, the town is particularly interesting if you want to combine different interests during your holiday: walks by the water, self-guided art routes, maritime activities and insights into the town’s history are all available as travel ideas side by side.

Water, walks and active holiday days

You can walk along the Guldborgsund on the waterfront promenade at Slotsbryggen. There is a bathing jetty at the end of Strandboulevarden. If you do not just want to look at the water, you can go wakeboarding at Guldborgsund Aqua Sport. The marina in Nykøbing Falster is just over 1 km north of the swing bridge and has 300 berths. These different connections with the water give you several options for planning your day, without your holiday having to focus on just one activity.

There is also a clear choice of walks with a cultural focus. The Kunstgåtur in Nykøbing F. consists of two ring-shaped, self-guided routes of 2.5 km and 4 km respectively. The planned routes pass public art experiences in Nykøbing Falster, including the bear sculpture on Torvet. This allows you to choose a shorter or longer route and combine a visit to the town with art.

Historical Sites and Unusual Museums

Klosterkirken was built from brick in the 15th century and handed over to the town as a parish church in 1532. Inside, it houses Queen Dowager Sophie’s 33-square-metre Mecklenburg ancestral chart, considered the largest of its kind in Denmark. There is also a carillon with 26 bells, which can be heard throughout the town. The church therefore offers several specific points of interest for visitors interested in architectural history, royal family history or unusual musical experiences.

Museum Obscurum presents the unique and secret cryptozoological collection of Cornelius S. C. Rödder, featuring finds from around the world. Den Gamle Købmandshandel allows you to experience commercial life in the 1950s. Frisørmuseet Nykøbing F. in turn provides an introduction to the changes in salons, hairdressing products and work equipment during the 20th century. It is precisely these different museum themes that also make Nykøbing Falster interesting for a day of holiday in which culture and curiosity take centre stage.

Getting There and Special Experiences

Pangea Park Falster is approximately 1 km, or around a 15-minute walk, from Nykøbing F. Station. The petting zoo offers encounters with goats, donkeys and other friendly animals. If you are travelling with children, you can include this visit in your plans as an engaging opportunity to meet animals. There are also train connections from Nykøbing Falster via Maribo to Nakskov and to Copenhagen. These connections can be taken into account when planning your arrival and excursions.

Nykøbing Falster Revyen offers a traditional summer revue from June to August as well as a winter revue in January. For a trip with an interest in local theatre productions, this is another distinctive part of the town’s character. If you would like to plan a longer route, you can begin the fourth stage of the Østersøruten in Nykøbing F.

There is also a specific culinary destination: SMAG Mad & Vin is a restaurant in Hollands Gaard in the heart of Nykøbing Falster. This allows you to choose your accommodation according to your preferred holiday mix of water, culture, family experiences, routes and food, without reducing the town to just one aspect.
