About this tour

Welcome to Roskilde - one of Denmark’s oldest and most historically rich cities!

Roskilde offers both a small-town coziness and a significant place in Danish history.
It was once the metropolis of Denmark - it served as the royal seat and one of the country’s most important religious and political centers.

Its strategic location at the end of the Roskilde Fjord made it a vital Viking settlement, offering trade and protection.
Five original 11th-century Viking ships are on display at the Viking Ship Museum.
The seafaring age is brought to life through interactive exhibits and working ship reconstructions.

We pass the Roskilde Cathedral too, listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Since the 15th century, it has been the royal burial church, housing the tombs of around 40 Danish kings and queens.
The cathedral offers an extraordinary journey in time.

Happy exploring!

Remember an entrance fee is required for some inside visits and check out the opening hours.
