Overview of your Copenhagen tour:

Are you also fascinated by the Vikings, as I am? Learn more about the Scandinavian Vikings that conquered large parts of Europe and managed to travel all the way to America 500 years before Christopher Columbus. Our 5-hour tour by train to Roskilde will include a visit to the Viking Ship Museum where you will be able to watch an introductory film in English. You will see the remains of the five 1000-year-old Viking ships found in Roskilde Fjord in 1969 as well as replicas made in recent years. We continue to the impressive Roskilde Cathedral built some 800 years ago when Denmark was a Catholic church. Now, the beautiful church is Lutheran and used by the local parish. This World Heritage Site is where 38 Danish kings and queens have been buried throughout 500 years. The interior of the church is worth traveling for and you will no doubt especially enjoy the spectacular guilt alter piece.

Your Copenhagen tour itinerary

We take the train from Copenhagen Central Station to Roskilde Station and walk to the Viking Ship Museum. There you can see the remains of the 5 ships found in 1969. On the museum island, it is also possible to see replicas of the ships and how they were made. The Vikings were warriors but also farmers and traders. They had a great impact on not just Scandinavia but also many other parts of Europe. The Vikings introduced Christianity in Denmark and founded our Monarchy. I cannot help but admire them. We continue by foot to Roskilde Cathedral. According to Unesco, the impressive church is worth a visit when in Denmark and I totally agree. It is adorned with several side chapels built in different eras and architectural styles. Here you will see many varieties of grave monuments for Danish royalty. So much history and an impressive interior in one spot. During the trip, we walk about 50 minutes in total.
