6 Things to do Good for Kids in Roskilde That You Shouldn't Miss
Home to the four-day Roskilde Festival, arguably the best European rock festival, hilly Roskilde is less than 20 miles from Copenhagen. If hordes of rock stars aren't pillaging the town of 50,000, the excellent Viking ship museum is Roskilde's prime attraction. Featuring five ships discovered at the bottom of the fjord, you can add to the Viking experience by rowing the fjord on an hour-long longboat trip. The town is also famed for its much adapted 12th-century Roskilde Domkirke Cathedral.

Don’t miss this amazing educational, informational and interactive opportunity to learn everything about Vikings. Ships, ropes, sails, costumes, tools, a boat ride out into the Sea, build your own miniature ship, watch blacksmiths work metal with bellows and anvil. Five authentic ships excavated and saved from the channel. Very nice gift shop. Museum exhibitions and films on the recovery of the five ancient ships. Great for adults, kids, families.
