DESTINATION: COPENHAGEN - DENMARK
Roskilde Viking Tour (6 hrs)
Drive south through the industrialized area of Copenhagen and out into the verdant farm country heading south for Roskilde, situated at the end of the Roskilde Fjord. As the former Capital of Denmark, Roskilde played an important part in the Early Middle Ages. Visit the great Roskilde Cathedral (Entrance fee included), which was built in 1182 and where Danish kings and queens are buried. The Cathedral was put on UNESCO’s cultural heritage list in 1995 and is well worth a visit. After lunch we visit the ultra modern Viking Ship Museum (Entrance fee Included), which displays the five ships excavated from the Roskilde Fjord. It is believed they were sunk in an attempt to prevent the approaching enemy from entering the fjord. Today, carefully restored, they are one of the most important Viking finds in Denmark. The group will view a 14 minute film on the find prior to visiting the museum exhibition. Afterwards, before the drive back to Copenhagen, there is time to browse through the various workshops on the museum site – where craftsmen are making tools, boats etc. using the same methods used during the viking period. Service included: • 06 hrs coach • 06 hrs guide • Viking ships May-Sep • Entrance Roskilde Cathedral • Lunch at local Restaurant .
