Things to do in Roskilde, Zealand: The Best Museums

June 23, 2021 Florencio Paulino

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.

Viking Ship Museum

Warships await you at the Viking Ship Museum. Don't worry, they won't open fire. This museum is dedicated to education about boat building, archaeology and Viking life. It's a favorite among kids, and visitors of all ages can take to the water in traditional vessels. Open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. seven days a week, until 5 p.m. in summer months.

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.
