In one of the museum's buildings, at Bakkekammen 45, is the interior museum of Better Building Practices, which in the 20th century worked for a better building culture in Denmark.

Right next to the museum is St Nicolai Church, a classic red monastic church and Holbæk's largest. Another church worth a visit is Tveje Merløse Church, located in Tveje Merløse three kilometres south of Holbæk and easy to visit when on holiday by car.

UNESCO Global Geopark Odsherred

The beautiful landscape of Odsherred is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and can call itself UNESCO Global Geopark Odsherred - as the first Danish geopark ever. The inclusion is primarily due to a unique glacial landscape whose geological conditions are of crucial cultural and historical importance. The impressive ice age landscape has attracted painters for 200 years, who have depicted dramatic landscapes. For the same reason, you can visit numerous galleries and art museums in the area.

The hilly glacial landscape with its many impressive views and unspoilt natural areas is also ideal for an active holiday, whether you prefer cycling or hiking.

As something very special, the park also offers a safe and permanent home to exotic animals that have been through hardships in their lives.

Christmas market in Roskilde

Set against a beautiful backdrop of historic medieval buildings, Roskilde's annual Christmas market is a must. Here you can be seduced by the smell of fir, mulled wine and roasted almonds, singing, music and elves and lots of cosy stalls. Not least the 800-year-old cathedral and the old town hall provide the backdrop for the atmospheric events when it's 'Christmas on Stændertorvet'.

The Christmas market in Roskilde is extremely charming and has a very special atmosphere in the historic setting of Stændertorvet in the city centre. It was a trading post as far back as the Viking Age and up through the Middle Ages, and it really creates a special atmosphere to walk around here. Take a pleasant stroll around the 20 or so stalls offering everything from pottery, jewellery, winter knitwear, toys, wooden crafts, Christmas decorations, decorations and beautiful handmade art. You will also find several places to warm your hands with a nice cup of hot mulled wine or cocoa and enjoy warm apple slices and delicate specialities. Around the town, the charming Christmas train runs, which the children love, and a couple of real reindeer also visit the town. Part of what makes Roskilde's Christmas market so cosy and special is that it doesn't actually seem very big. You get to know each other a bit and there are smiles on your face and twinkles in your eyes. It's nice and Danish - quiet, cosy and informal.

In the city's creative Musicon district, you can also experience the cosy indoor Christmas market, 'Alletiders Jul', where more than 60 stalls are set up. There are also various workshops and live entertainment.

Besides the Christmas market, Roskilde has an incredible amount of Danish history and you have a great opportunity to combine your Christmas market mini break with some sightseeing in the beautiful town. For example, visit Roskilde Museum or the Viking Ship Museum, or take a walk into the 800-year-old UNESCO-listed Roskilde Cathedral. You'll also find plenty of more traditional shopping opportunities, both in the pedestrian streets of the city centre and in the large shopping centre, RO's Torv, which houses more than 80 shops and restaurants.
