About this school trip

Roskilde is the place to introduce pupils to the Vikings and archaeology. The Viking Ship Museum (Vikingeskibsmuseet) is built around five original Viking ships recovered from the fjord at Skuldelev. Your pupils see how archaeologists found and reconstructed the ships, and in the boatyard they can watch shipbuilders at work. In the summer season, boat trips on Roskilde Fjord are also on offer.

Roskilde is also home to its cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was one of the first large brick buildings in Northern Europe and is the burial place of the Danish kings and queens; every Danish monarch since the sixteenth century has been laid to rest here. This lets lower and upper secondary pupils link the Viking Age with later Danish history.

We are happy to take care of the transport to Roskilde for you and your pupils. It is a long drive, so we spread it over the day with plenty of rest breaks and plan an overnight stop where needed. In our comfortable coach, with an experienced driver, your group travels there and back safely.
