Roskilde Havn

Welcome to Roskilde Harbor

Just 25 minutes from Copenhagen, Roskilde rises above the landscape, beautifully situated by Roskilde Fjord. Here, you’ll find history, culture, and nature in abundance. The harbor buzzes with life, offering activities for the whole family, as well as excellent dining options where you can recharge and savor your experiences.

Sailing into Roskilde Harbor

Visiting sailors can use any berth marked with a green "free" sign. Additionally, there are designated guest berths in the inner harbor near the crane, marked with "GUEST." Harbor fees must be paid via the BEAS app or the BEAS payment machine—use the button on the right side of this page if needed.

The service quay and crane quay may not be used for overnight stays. West of the service quay, short stops of up to 3 hours are allowed (free of charge).

Please note that the clearance height of the Frederikssund Bridge is 22 meters at normal water levels. Also, beware of high-voltage power lines hanging at the same height just south of the bridge.

Children on Board

For sailors with little crew members on board, the harbor kiosks offer delicious ice cream and hot dogs. The Viking Ship Museum and a fishing platform—where kids can catch small fish and crabs—are within short walking distance. With its working workshops, the Viking Ship Museum is a delight for both children and adults.

Only 150 meters from the harbor basin, you’ll find the nature playground "Søstjernen," where kids can swing on sensory swings, climb, jump, and burn off energy after a day at sea.

Rich in History and Culture

The story of Roskilde and its surroundings dates back to the Viking Age and the Middle Ages. Among the top attractions is Roskilde Cathedral, with its royal tombs and impressive architecture, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

And Roskilde is well known for engaging the younger crowd! The RAGNAROCK Museum offers interactive exhibitions on pop, rock, and youth culture. But Roskilde is also a modern city with a pedestrian shopping street, specialty shops, and great restaurants for those who enjoy shopping and café life.
