Vandtårnet i Sakskøbing Not much many attractions per se, but a few places might interesting for foreigners.

  • The church. Standard Danish medieval style, but still nice.
  • Oreby Harbour. Nice and quiet little harbour with nice views over the fjord, forests and a baroque mansion.
  • Krenkerup Gods. Probably the nicest place in the area. Nice old mansion, with a lovely (planted) forest. Ruins of a summer-pavilion can be found here.
  • The Watertower. Has a face painted on (hence the town's slogan 'the city that smiles'). At night the face lights up in a rather demonic way.

  • Hulyas Pizzaria, Torvet 5, +45 54 70 78 68. Been in the town for over 10 years, this is by far the most popular place for the locals to eat out. Decent pizzas and other menu items ranging from kebabs to t-bone steaks.

There are trains to the local capital, Nykøbing Falster, so frequently this would be the place to go for drinks and nightlife.

  • Goose Pub, Søndergade 13, +45 54 70 42 95. The local watering hole. Abandon all hope ye who enter here. Dark and smoky this caters to the very local-patriotic crowd, and it cannot be recommended to go here (especially on weekends) without a local contact that can vouch for you. Fights are very common, so keep a low profile if you go here.
