Roskilde Havn

Getting around: A short walk from central Roskilde and the train station, at the head of Roskilde Fjord.
Hours: Open-air harbor area, accessible at all times.

Roskilde Havn is the town's harbor at the southern end of Roskilde Fjord, home to the Viking Ship Museum's boatyard, marina, and a scattering of cafes and restaurants along the water. It's the natural gathering point for the town's Viking and maritime heritage, with reconstructed Viking ships often moored and, in season, available for short sailing trips.

It's worth a walk along the waterfront when visiting the Viking Ship Museum, combining museum exhibits with the working boatyard and harbor atmosphere just outside.
