It is the seat of Faaborg-Midtfyn Municipality and was the seat of the now abolished Ringe municipality. The main office of Rynkeby Foods, a major Danish producer of juice and squash, is located in Ringe.

The Ringe Museum is the only existing museum in the town and is a vast part of its cultural history. In 1704, the building was constructed as a school, with many improvements and adjustments being made in 1737. The museum is run by Midtfyns Museumsforening and is funded by Faaborg-Midtfyn Kommune, who owns the building itself. The museum has two interiors (bedroom and living room), an extensive array of historical weaponry and a broad collection of tools representing numerous crafts. It hosts many exhibitions often, showcasing the museum's collection.

The town is home to the Ringe Church, which was constructed around the year 1200. The church itself has an armory, altar, pulpit, baptismal font, burial chapel, an organ, a broad set of art, and memorial plaques and stones. Today, it is home to many activities, such as musical performances, wedding parades, and baptisms. The church tower is under renovation since 25 April 2021.

The Ringe Sø is a popular attraction in the town. It is a shallow lake home to numerous species, such as the Red-necked grebe, Eurasian coot, Common moorhen, Mallard, and Greylag goose. After the last glacial period ended, a glacier from Munen melted and formed the lake.
