Roskilde is one of the oldest cities in Denmark known for its grand cathedral and its strong links to Viking history. The city stands by a wide fjord which gives it a calm waterside atmosphere. Roskilde Cathedral is a tall brick church with many royal tombs and it is a major landmark in Danish history. Close to the harbor you can visit the Viking Ship Museum where original ships are displayed alongside workshops that show traditional boatbuilding. The city also hosts a large annual music festival which brings a lively and creative spirit each summer.
