Nestled in the island of South Zealand is the city of Naestved, the region’s cultural and commercial hub. Just an hour away from Copenhagen, it is also home to about 42,000 residents where a significant percentage goes to work in the capital city but prefers to live here for the relatively lower price of housing.
