Ferry lines connect the municipality to Aarhus on the Jutland peninsula, and to the island of Samsø at the central harbour in Kalundborg.

The harbour is conveniently located near the Kalundborg train station, which connects to the cities of Holbæk and Copenhagen.

Stately Lerchenborg Castle, the traditional seat of the aristocratic Lerche family, is located on the forest-covered Asnæs peninsula.

A number of special arrangements take place at the castle during the year, including a Christmas market, music concerts and car shows.

In the southern side wing is a room dedicated to Hans Christian Andersen who was guest in 1862.
