Three days following in the Vikings’ footsteps
From the ships in Roskilde to the royal halls in Lejre and the stories in Frederikssund. Use this guide as inspiration for a trip with two overnight stays, choosing the experiences you most want to explore.
You can change the order of the days. If you would like to visit a market, attend a performance or join another event, check the dates before planning your trip.
Day 1 - Viking ships in Roskilde
Start at the Viking Ship Museum, where the original ships tell the story of Viking voyages, trade and warfare. Take time to explore the museum and make a walk beside Roskilde Fjord part of your day.
Find inspiration for the rest of your visit in our guide to a day with the Vikings in Roskilde.
Day 2 - The Royal Hall and the landscape of Lejre
Spend the day at Land of Legends, where the Royal Hall, historic settings and surrounding landscape offer plenty to explore.
Land of Legends can fill a whole day. If you have time and would like to discover more, you can also visit Lejre Museum and the Viking traces in Gl. Lejre. Find ideas in our day guide.
Day 3 - Viking houses and stories in Frederikssund
Visit the Viking Settlement on Kalvøen, where reconstructed houses stand beside Roskilde Fjord. On ordinary days, it is a short, self-guided visit that you can combine with a waterside walk.
If you would like to experience a market, activities or Frederikssund Vikingespil, choose a day with an event. Check the options before deciding how to spend the final day of your trip.
Stay for two nights and make time for more
With two overnight stays, you can spread the experiences over several days and leave time for breaks along the way. Choose one base for the whole trip or stay somewhere different after each day’s visit.
Plan your journeys between the sites
You can put together the trip by car or public transport. Choose the order of your visits and where to stay so that travelling between the places works for you.
Check opening hours, events and transport for your travel dates. If you are attending a performance, check how you will get back to your accommodation afterwards too.
