Stege is the only town of any size on Møn — a quiet place of around 4,000 people built around a small harbour where the bridge from Zealand lands. The main street, Storegade, has the cafes, bakeries, bookshops and ironmongers that a Danish market town runs on, plus a handful of antique shops and galleries that have crept in over the years. An hour browsing it is enough; most visitors use Stege as a base rather than a destination.
The town's signature sight is the Møllerporten, the 15th-century brick gate tower that is one of the best-preserved medieval town gates in Denmark, all that remains of the wall that once enclosed Stege. A few minutes away, the 13th-century Stege Kirke has whitewashed walls and a beautifully carved late-Gothic altarpiece. The harbour, a quick walk from Storegade, has a couple of fish smokehouses worth a stop.
