Local tips
- Visit on a weekday mid-morning for a calmer atmosphere and more time to chat with volunteers or sift through newly arranged donations.
- Bring a reusable tote bag; clothing and small homeware finds add up quickly and it keeps your haul easy to carry around town.
- If you plan to donate items, sort and clean them in advance so volunteers can get them onto the shelves faster.
- Check the shelves with kitchenware and textiles for unique Scandinavian-style pieces that pack easily into luggage.
- Have some cash or a standard payment card ready, as small charity shops may not accept all digital payment options.

Charity thrift shop at the heart of Maribo
The Red Cross Op Shop on Vestergade is one of those small-town anchors that locals simply call “genbrug” – the second-hand shop. Set in the compact centre of Maribo, it blends into the traditional streetscape with simple signage and wide display windows that let you peer straight into a world of donated treasures. Inside, narrow aisles are packed with colour: clothing rails, stacks of books and neatly arranged bric-a-brac fill the space without feeling chaotic. Everything sold here is donated, from everyday basics to the occasional designer jacket, antique plate or quirky lamp. The atmosphere is informal and welcoming; most of the people behind the counter are volunteers who know both their regular customers and the stories behind many of the items on display.Shopping that funds humanitarian work
Like other Red Cross thrift shops across Denmark, this store exists for a clear purpose: to turn used goods into funding for humanitarian projects. Proceeds support relief efforts and social programmes both locally on Lolland and internationally, from crisis response to community initiatives. This gives even the smallest purchase a sense of weight; picking up a warm coat, a stack of novels or a set of glasses quietly contributes to something much larger than the shop floor. The focus on reuse also plays into Denmark’s broader push for more sustainable consumption. By extending the lifespan of clothing, textiles and household items, the shop helps reduce waste and keeps usable goods in circulation. Donors drop off bags of sorted clothing and homeware, which are then checked and curated by volunteers before finding their way to the shelves.What you will find on the shelves
The core of the store is clothing for adults and children, arranged by type and often by colour, making rummaging surprisingly efficient. Depending on the day, you might uncover woollen jumpers, smart shirts, vintage dresses or practical outerwear suited to Denmark’s changeable weather. Accessories such as scarves, belts, handbags and shoes usually fill nearby racks and baskets. Beyond fashion, you can expect shelves of glassware, plates and cups, small decorative pieces, lamps and framed pictures – perfect for anyone setting up a home on a budget or hunting for one-of-a-kind details. There is typically a modest selection of books, puzzles and toys, reflecting the town’s family life. Stock shifts constantly as donations come in, so no two visits are ever quite the same.A social hub powered by volunteers
More than just a shop, the Red Cross Op Shop functions as a small social hub. Conversations between volunteers and customers often linger, and it is common to see neighbours exchanging news between the aisles. For the volunteers, many of whom live locally, the shop offers a sense of purpose and community, whether they are sorting donations in the back room or helping someone piece together the right outfit. This human element shapes the feel of the place. Prices are kept modest and clearly marked, and staff are usually happy to explain how different categories are priced. The tone is friendly rather than pushy; browsing at your own pace is very much encouraged. On quieter weekdays, the shop can feel almost like a living room filled with things waiting for a new chapter.Visiting during a day in Maribo
Because of its central location, the shop fits easily into a broader wander around Maribo’s compact centre. It is a natural stop if you enjoy pairing sightseeing with sustainable shopping, whether you are spending a few hours in town or staying longer on Lolland. Opening hours are straightforward: the store keeps regular daytime hours on weekdays and a shorter slot on Saturdays, with Sunday typically closed. Allow enough time to explore properly; the charm of any good thrift shop lies in the unexpected, and it often takes a few passes along the rails to spot the piece that speaks to you. Whether you leave with a new-to-you coat, a stack of plates or simply a better sense of everyday life in Maribo, you step back onto Vestergade having contributed, in a small but real way, to the wider work of the Red Cross.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
