3 things to see
Roskilde is a cheap day trip from Copenhagen by regional train, known for its Viking Ship Museum and a massive cathedral housing the tombs of Danish royals. The harbor, fjord shoreline, and surrounding parklands cost nothing to wander, and the cathedral square is free to enjoy from outside. Visit in shoulder season to dodge the crowds that descend during the summer music festival.
