On the Lolland side of Nykøbing Falster, Middelaldercentret ("Medieval Centre," middelaldercentret.dk, adult/child 165/90kr) invites families to travel back to the days of damsels and knights by recreating an early 15th century community. Costumed craftspeople populate a recreated Middle Ages village and put on demonstrations of archery, jousting and the firing of a brutal-looking trebuchet (siege catapult). The most picturesque spot is an old merchant’s house with its own harbor and boats. Kids love the many hands-on play experiences, and the imaginative restaurant (Gæstgiveri Den Gyldne Svane) has food and decor based on medieval originals.
The center is across the bridge on Lolland. Bus 702 from Brovejen/Nykøbing F train station runs roughly half-hourly on weekdays and hourly on weekends. From Hotel Liselund you can walk to the museum center along a very pretty waterside path in around 20 minutes (1.2km).
