Roskilde Day Trip Details

Meet your English-speaking guide at the Copenhagen Central Station on the morning of your tour. 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 architecture of the Gothic Cathedral, built in the 12th and 13th centuries and recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, serving as the final resting place of 39 Danish monarchs. Your guide will share facts about the history of notable royals.

Continue your tour at the Viking Ship Museum, located at the harbour of the Roskilde Fjord. Among the vessels, you will see the longest Viking warship in the world, measuring 118 feet (36 m) and capable of carrying up to 100 warriors. The museum also houses the Skuldelev ships, five original Viking boats sunk almost 1000 years ago.

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