Roskilde

On Monday, July 28, we decided to leave Copenhagen for a day, and take a short train ride (at least going out) to Roskilde. We got off the train and were greeted by the Roskilde Jars

Greyfryers Cemetery

In the distance, Roskilde Cathedral, completed in 1275

The return to Copenhagen took 3 times as long as the trip to Roskilde, due to construction and rush hour.

One more full day in Denmark. We plan to spend it in Frederiksberg Have (Garden).
