Roskilde is best known for its UNESCO-listed
cathedral, its
Viking Ship Museum, and its raucous
music festival (don't Google Image Search it unless you want to see lots of naked folks). I saw the cathedral and the museum; sweaty-hippy music fests are my own personal hell, so I made sure to head to Roskilde a week later. It's only a 30-minute train ride west of Copenhagen, so I spent the afternoon strolling around.
The cathedral and museum were both impressive and well worth the visit. I'm sure the music festival is
awe-inspiring in its own right. But as is the case with so many places that have become famous for a few sights, Roskilde is most charming when one steps ever so slightly off of the beaten path.
