Lonely Planet review for Viking Ship Museum
The Vikings are famous for their rune stones and horned helmets – the latter in fact misattributed to them (horned helmets were a Bronze Age fashion). They also gave us Bluetooth, or at least the name, which comes from one of their kings, Harold Bluetooth (it’s a Danish invention, by the way). If you ask them, the Danes are proud of their Viking ancestors but they tend to keep it low-key. If you want to see their extraordinary sailing vessels for yourself, we recommend a trip to Roskilde’s Viking Ship Museum, 25 minutes west of Copenhagen by train.
