Roskilde Cathedral, Viking Museum and Forest tower tour

Experience the best of Zealand on a private tour. Visit Roskilde Cathedral, discover Viking history at the Viking Ship Museum, and walk above the treetops at the spectacular Forest Tower.
Begin your journey with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Copenhagen. Travel in a premium vehicle to Roskilde, one of Denmark’s oldest cities, located on the scenic Roskilde Fjord.

Your first stop is the magnificent Roskilde Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the country’s most important landmarks. Built mainly of red brick between the 12th and 13th centuries, the cathedral has served as the royal burial church for Danish monarchs for over 500 years. Nearly 40 kings and queens rest here, making it one of the most significant royal burial sites in Europe. Enjoy approximately one hour to admire the impressive Gothic architecture, royal chapels, and beautiful interior at your own pace.

The journey continues to the world-famous Viking Ship Museum, where you’ll discover Denmark’s proud Viking heritage. The museum is home to five original Viking ships that were deliberately sunk in the Roskilde Fjord over 1,000 years ago to protect the city from enemy attacks. Learn how the Vikings built their ships, navigated across Europe, and shaped Scandinavian history through trade, exploration, and conquest. You’ll have around two hours to explore the museum, visit the exhibitions, and enjoy the scenic waterfront surroundings. Depending on the season, you may even see traditional Viking ships being built or sailing on the fjord.

Continue your journey to the spectacular Forest Tower (Skovtårnet), one of Denmark’s most iconic modern attractions. Walk through the beautiful Gisselfeld forest before ascending the award-winning spiral tower, rising 45 meters above the treetops. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views across the forests and countryside of Zealand while experiencing one of Denmark’s most unique architectural landmarks.

Throughout the drive, your driver will share interesting facts about Danish history, culture, and the beautiful landscapes of Zealand. Travel comfortably in a premium vehicle with hotel pickup and drop-off included, allowing you to relax and enjoy a memorable day outside Copenhagen.
