Why Bornholm?
Bornholm packs sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, forests and charming harbour towns into a relatively small area. For many travellers it’s a “compact” destination: you can see a lot without spending hours on the road.
If you want to start planning from the “big picture”, use the Bornholm map (informational link).
Highlights worth seeing
For a first trip, these spots are easy to combine into a simple loop around the island:
- the ruins of Hammershus,
- Bornholm’s round defensive churches – guide,
- harbour towns like Gudhjem and Svaneke,
- local smokehouses – list.
Practical tip: pick one “must-see” in the morning (e.g., Hammershus), and keep the afternoon for shorter stops
plus a beach or picnic. It’s the easiest way to avoid turning your holiday into a marathon.
Bornholm with kids: what to keep in mind
Families benefit from short drives and easy “mix and match” days: a bit of sightseeing, a bit of beach time, and a bit of cycling. A good approach is to plan days by area (e.g., the north one day, the south the next).
If you’re looking for calmer spots, head for the southern coastline – see beach ideas.
Cycling Bornholm
Bornholm is great for cycling: shorter distances, beautiful views, and routes through forests and along the coast. For families and beginners, it’s best to plan shorter loops and take breaks “at every highlight”.
Logistics are easy with online bike rental (informational link within the site).
When is the best time to go?
The most popular season is May–September. If you prefer a quieter trip, consider May/June or September. In peak season (July–August), it’s best to book accommodation earlier.
