That Næstved is above all an industrial town becomes particularly clear at the harbour. Noise, exhaust fumes and typical industrial buildings around the two harbour basins are reason enough to prefer the canal port on the outskirts of the town. Those who take the way into the city from here will be offered something in terms of cultural history in the largest town of South Sjælland.

In the oldest part of the city lies St. Peter's Church, built in the 13th century, one of the largest Gothic churches in Denmark. If you want to know what King Waldemar Atterdag and Queen Hedwig looked like, check out the church's murals dating back to 1375. The monarchs are depicted kneeling in front of a mercy seat. Behind the church at Farver- and Vinhusgade stand the "Stenboderne", the oldest terraced houses in Denmark, built around 1400. One of the few preserved town halls from the Middle Ages is opposite the church. Nearby is the statue of the troll who, according to legend, wanted to bury the town under a great pile of sand.

In Kompagnistræde is the medieval Kompagnihus, probably the oldest guild house in Denmark. The Helliggaandshus (Holy Ghost House), where the old and sick were cared for in the Middle Ages, is now a museum. The Viking Age and the Middle Ages are highlighted in the house with its Gothic gables. The museum in Ringstedgade 4 also displays old glass and ceramic art and silver collections. In the aforementioned "Stenboderne" behind the church, the local arts and crafts mainly exhibit glass and ceramic items. In general, Næstved and the surrounding area is known for old and new glass art. A visit to the Holmegård Glassworks Museum in Fensmark, about six kilometres northeast of the town centre, is highly recommended. Here, visitors can see how mouth-blown glass is made.

The town has also made a name for itself as a production site for high-quality ceramic products. "First address" for ceramic products is the Kähler ceramics workshop at Kählersbakken 5, where you can admire the skill of the potters. St. Mortens Church, built around 1300, with its woodcarvings (Østergade) is also worth a short visit. In Riddergade, opposite the tourist office, is the Apostles' House with 13 carved apostle disciples. The figures were carved into the house beams. Næstved's Cultural Centre is housed in an old barracks in Grønnegade. The listed building is home to over 100 associations. About two kilometres north of the town centre is Herulfsholm boarding school, originally founded for young noblemen in 1565. Set up in the rooms of an old Benedictine monastery, the boarding school is known throughout Denmark as an elite school. The church of the old "Skovkloster" can be visited. The monastery has another significance: in 1153 the landowner Peter Bodilsen had the building erected on the banks of the Suså. The completion of the monastery is today regarded as the birth of Næstved, as the bustling crafts and trading town developed around the church building. Peter Bodilsen, the founder of the town, was immortalized as an equestrian statue not far from the town hall on Hjultorv. He sits there on horseback, but with his horse he is the smallest equestrian statue in Denmark.

The economic prosperity of the town is due in part to the Hanseatic League, which made Næstved a central place for the purchase of grain and fish. Trade and fishing made the people of Næstved so prosperous that in the 16th century they even paid a higher city tax than the people of Copenhagen. Plague, fires and wars caused the town great problems in the following period. Recovered from this, Næstved was known in the 18th century for its iron production and its distilleries. It was not until 50 years ago that the town was made an "inland port" by the construction of the canal. The canal is 4.5 nautical miles long, six metres deep and 40 metres wide.

Probably the most impressive destination in the area is Gavnø Castle on the island of the same name on Karrebæk Fjord. As early as the 13th century, a buccaneer's castle stood on this spot, about six kilometres southwest of Næstved. The building was bought by Queen Margrethe and given to an order of nuns. Rebuilt into a manor house in 1580 and a castle in 1750, the noble residence is today one of the most magnificent rococo buildings in Denmark. Its interior contains, among other things, one of the largest collections of paintings in the North, collected in the 17th century. A banquet table for 16 people with old Meissen porcelain is permanently set in the large dining room.

The Queen's former room can be visited, and another special feature is the large collection of musical instruments in the castle.

No less impressive are the monastery church, dating from 1401, and the castle park, prized for its numerous flower beds. A visit to the park is particularly worthwhile in May and June, when thousands of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and crocuses are in bloom. If you are interested, you can also see a collection of Falck vehicles (emergency vehicles). The island is connected to the mainland by a causeway to the east.

The former cow stables of the Sparresholm manor, about ten kilometres east of Næstved, house an extensive collection of horse-drawn vehicles. It houses both farmer's carriages and "fast carriages". It is 15 kilometres to the northwest to Lake Tystrup and Lake Bavelsen, but the nature experience is worth the long journey. The wooded, hilly landscape is characterised by megalithic tombs, most of which are placed on the highest points. Among the unusual number of pre-Christian finds are field sheaths that are more than 2000 years old. The lakes and the river Suså are well suited for canoeing. Rented canoes can be used to travel from Næsby Bro through the lakes to Næstved.

For those with plenty of time on their hands, a visit to Gisselfeld Castle, 14 kilometres to the north-east, is not to be missed. The renaissance castle, which has been rebuilt several times, is surrounded by lakes, a moat and English-style greenery.
