You Haven’t Seen All Cathedrals …
… until you’ve seen this one. We’ve seen a lot of churches throughout Europe, but this one is really unique. We were happy we had our Rick Steves book with us because it provided more context for a few things than the on-site signs. That said, the signage here is terrific in English, and really gives you a feel for the various royal luminaries who have been laid to rest here. We decided to head out to Roskilde after pretty much seeing what we came to see in Copenhagen, and it was well worth the day to see both this and the Viking Museum. We took the train one way and a cab on the return. The train is fairly easy to figure out, but it was hot, super crowded, slow, and not on time. The cab was quick, easy, comfortable, and expensive. Figure $100 for the cab if you elect to go that route.

Interresting and of great importance to danish history
UNESCO sites always carry a unique atmosphere and this site was no exception. The historical importance of the church really makes it worth while. My husband and I are 26 and 27, and we spend two hours exploring and talking about history. *Make sure to grab a brochure in english if you dont speak danish!!* I would have liked a few more text displays, so that all the large graves/grave monuments had atleast a name and a date attached. The texts/signs that were installed did a good job at depicting the monarchs as neither good nor bad. The museum on the opper floor was good (although a bit old) and raised some interesting questions. And the staff were lovely! ?
