Roskilde is served by the [[Roskilde railway station]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dsb.dk/kundeservice/stationer/roskilde/|title=Roskilde Station|publisher=DSB|language=da|access-date=20 March 2024|website=dsb.dk}}</ref> Its four platforms and seven tracks serve as a central hub connecting western and southern Zealand, the islands of Falster and Lolland, and Jutland to Copenhagen. Also within the municipality is the {{rws|Trekroner}} station, serving [[Roskilde University]] and the developing residential areas to the east of Roskilde. Roskilde Station is the oldest railway station in Denmark still in operation and the first to be built of stone. The first train arrived from Copenhagen on 26 June 1847.<ref name=arkark/>

The principal road running through Roskilde is [[Danish national road 21]], better known as Holbæk Motorway, which connects the city to the capital in the east.

The main airport for Roskilde is [[Copenhagen Airport]] which can be reached in about 40 minutes by train.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.visitroskilde.com/ln-int/roskilde-lejre/train-and-bus-information-roskilde-and-lejre|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140111073039/http://www.visitroskilde.com/ln-int/roskilde-lejre/train-and-bus-information-roskilde-and-lejre|url-status=usurped|archive-date=11 January 2014|title=Train and bus information in Roskilde|publisher=Visit Roskilde|access-date=14 January 2015 }}</ref> Since April 1973,<ref name=aw>{{cite news|title=Roskilde Airport|publisher=Airportsworldwide.com|url=http://www.airports-worldwide.com/denmark/roskilde_denmark.html|access-date=9 January 2015}}</ref> there has also been the small local [[Roskilde Airport]], serving light aircraft for training, taxi, and flight instruction. There are plans to expand it for use by larger aircraft,<ref name=aw/> possibly including discount international flights. The plans were approved, but lack of commitment from any carriers has postponed progress. The airport currently handles up to 100,000 operations (flights) per year, most of which are light aircraft operations associated with school flights.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.airports-worldwide.com/denmark/roskilde_denmark.html|title=Roskilde Airport|publisher=Airportsworldwide.com|access-date=9 January 2015 }}</ref>
The airport is also home to a small [[Royal Danish Air Force]] detachment, maintaining a helicopter based search-and-rescue service covering Zealand and the [[Baltic Sea]]. Military passenger services have occasionally used the airport. However, there are now plans to close the military facilities in 2017 or 2018.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sn.dk/Roskilde/Flyvestation-Skalstrup-kan-vaere-lukket-inden-2018/artikel/378361|title=Flyvestation Skalstrup kan være lukket inden 2018|author=Lars Kimer|publisher=SN.dk|date=27 December 2013|access-date=9 January 2015 |language=da}}</ref>
