Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Viking History & Traditional Flavors
After breakfast, meet your guide for a day trip from Copenhagen to Roskilde, a town with a fascinating past. The journey to Roskilde offers scenic views of the Danish countryside, taking you to a place with over 1,000 years of history. Once the capital of Denmark, it was home to Harald Bluetooth, who united Denmark and Norway. During the Middle Ages, Roskilde became an important center of religion and culture. The first stop is the Viking Ship Museum, where you’ll discover well-preserved Viking ships from the 9th century and learn about their maritime culture and expeditions. Afterward, enjoy Viking snacks and a taste of mead. Next, head to the Roskilde Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its striking Gothic architecture and as the final resting place of Danish monarchs. For lunch, savor a traditional Danish meal at restaurant Hertadalen. Afterward, you’ll have the chance to create your own snaps using ingredients from the restaurant's organic garden. End the day at Tivoli Gardens, one of the world’s oldest amusement parks, where you can enjoy fun rides, beautiful gardens, and a 3-course farewell dinner at Kilden restaurant.
