Know more about your day trip
Denmark is one of the most cashless countries in Europe. Cards, including international Visa and Mastercard, are accepted almost everywhere, from museums and restaurants to small shops and street stalls. Mobile payments are also common. Denmark uses the Danish krone (DKK), not the euro, so it's worth carrying a small amount of local cash for occasional needs.
Copenhagen lies about 22 miles (35 km) east of Roskilde, and the private transfer typically takes around 30 to 40 minutes each way, depending on traffic. Going by private car avoids juggling S-tog trains and local transfers, which can be especially welcome after long festival days at Roskilde.
Central Copenhagen is very walkable and famously bike-friendly. Most major sights including Nyhavn, Stroget, Rosenborg, and Christiansborg are within about 25 minutes of each other on foot. For longer distances, the metro and harbor buses are easy to use. Your private driver handles only the route between Roskilde and Copenhagen, not in-city transport.
Yes. The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde displays five original Viking ships excavated from the Roskilde Fjord in 1962, set inside a striking waterfront building. It is not part of this travel package, but still worth mentioning when talking about Roskilde.
Highlights include Nyhavn, the colorful 17th-century canal waterfront, Rosenborg Castle and its Renaissance interiors in the King's Garden, the Round Tower, and the Little Mermaid statue by the harbor. Stroll Stroget, one of Europe's longest pedestrian shopping streets, and consider a quick stop at Christiansborg Palace, where the Danish parliament meets.
Try smorrebrod, Denmark's open-faced rye bread sandwiches with toppings like pickled herring, smoked salmon, roast beef, and remoulade. Schonnemann on Hauser Plads is a classic spot. Copenhagen is also a global new Nordic cuisine hub, with bakeries serving cardamom buns and other Danish pastries that are far better in the city than the export versions.
Tivoli Gardens, opened in 1843, is the world's second-oldest amusement park and one of Copenhagen's most loved attractions, with classic rides, gardens, theaters, and concerts in a compact city setting. There's an entry fee plus individual ride tickets, and a combined pass is usually better value for a full visit. Walt Disney himself drew inspiration from it.
May through September offers the longest daylight, mildest weather, and full operation of outdoor attractions like Tivoli and harbor swimming areas. June and July can feel busy but very pleasant. Spring and fall are quieter and still rewarding, while winter brings short days, brisk weather, and a strong hygge atmosphere with Christmas markets and candlelit cafes.
