Roskilde Day Trip Details

Meet your English-speaking guide at the Copenhagen Central Station in the morning. From here, you'll catch the train to Roskilde, arriving after approximately 25 minutes.

Enjoy a guided walking tour of this historic city, admiring the red-brick Gothic Cathedral, built during the 12th and 13th centuries and recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. It is the final resting place of 39 Danish monarchs, and your guide will share facts about the history of these royals.

Continue your tour at the Viking Ship Museum, located at Roskilde Fjord. Among the vessels exhibited, you'll see the longest Viking warship in the world, 118 feet (36 m) long, and the Skuldelev ships, five original Viking boats sunk almost 1000 years ago.

After your museum visit, return to Roskilde station for the train back to Copenhagen, arriving about 4 hours later.
