Home to the four-day Roskilde Festival, arguably the best European rock festival, hilly Roskilde is less than 20 miles from Copenhagen. If hordes of rock stars aren't pillaging the town of 50,000, the excellent Viking ship museum is Roskilde's prime attraction. Featuring five ships discovered at the bottom of the fjord, you can add to the Viking experience by rowing the fjord on an hour-long longboat trip. The town is also famed for its much adapted 12th-century Roskilde Domkirke Cathedral.

Located on a pedestrianized zone, the hotel can be hard to find, as the approach is from the rear on one-way streets. Old-fashioned, and a bit overrun with tour buses and too plastered with signs to...more

Don't get me wrong with the title; the viking reconstructions were cool. But this place is an effort to get to. First the train out there, then a pretty decent hilly walk to get to the museum. We...more
