About this tour
This session looks at Roskilde Cathedral, a UNESCO-listed building that has served as the burial site of Danish monarchs for centuries. You see the twin spires and the square surrounding the building. Kirstine explains the cathedral's long royal connection.
The session covers two points around the cathedral at a measured pace. Kirstine answers questions about the building's history and its royal burials as they come up.
This suits anyone interested in royal or religious history. It pairs well with her Viking Ship Museum session down at the harbour.

A short list to keep 4 min

How reviews work
Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking".

Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
