9 days in Roskilde Itinerary

An ancient city from the Viking Age, today Roskilde welcomes a new crowd, especially as host of Roskilde Festival, a popular rock festival in Europe.

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Roskilde Domkirke and Church of Our Lady, Kalundborg. Step off the beaten path and head to Frederiksborg slotshave and Dragsholm Castle. Change things up with these side-trips from Roskilde: Farum So (in Farum), Cold War Museum Stevnsfort (in Roedvig) and Jaegerborg Dyrehave (in Klampenborg). And it doesn't end there: browse the exhibits of Viking Ship Museum, delve into the distant past at Vordingborg Slots Ruiner, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Gl. Vor Frue Kirke, and visit a coastal fixture at Stevns Fyrcenter.
