DENMARK - Roskilde
Zealand Island
Roskilde has a long history, dating from the pre-Christian Viking Age. The cathedral has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1995, and with 39 royal tombs it’s an absolute must-see when visiting.
The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde offers an incredible insight into the world of the Vikings and their era. You will be amazed by the five original Viking vessels from the 11th-century, as well as "The Glendalough Sea Stallion".
The museum is made up of two main sections – the Viking Ship Hall, where the original viking vessels are kept; and the Boatyard, where archaeological work takes place.

Viking Ship Museum : Viking ships were marine vessels of particular designs used and built by the vikings
The five Viking vessels of the Viking Ship Museum originate from a blockade approximately 20 km north of Roskilde. They were built during the 11th-century as an act of defense against enemy naval attacks on the city which at that time was the capital.
