Roskilde

Roskilde, Denmark's former capital, is steeped in history and a must-see for anybody with a penchant for Vikings. Roskilde, with its gorgeous fjord setting and rich historical legacy, is an ideal day excursion from Copenhagen, which is only 30 minutes away.

As the only site in the world where you may journey back a thousand years and conquer the oceans onboard a viking ship, this is a must-see. However, the historic city also provides a wealth of top-tier modern culture, including a world-renowned music festival, a museum dedicated to pop, rock, and youth culture, and many other attractions.
