Where to stay in Haraldsborg
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Roskilde Fjord sets the edge here. A bed in northeastern Roskilde puts the Vikingeskibsmuseet and Sankt Jørgensbjerg Kirke within an easy walk, with the Roskilde Museum and the Museet for Samtidskunst further into the town. Himmelev Kirke sits nearby too.
If you want the fjord and the Vikingeskibsmuseet rather than the shops, this end of Roskilde is the better base, and Rektorboligen stands on the same ground.
