"The people of Bornholm. Their landscapes. Their history and culture."
Bornholm is more than an island — it’s a hidden Baltic gem where nature, tradition and local identity come together as one unique whole. Time moves a little slower here, and every corner holds something special.
Bornholm is an island of artists and craftspeople, a community living close to nature, open to the world yet deeply rooted in its heritage. As part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, it’s a land of cliffs, forests, stone-built stories and flavours you won’t forget.
Spring on Bornholm
The island wakes up: fresh greenery, birdsong and perfect conditions for the first hikes and bike rides. A great time for relaxed sightseeing without crowds.
Summer on Bornholm
Long bright days, sandy beaches and the island at its liveliest. Summer is perfect for exploring by bike: routes between towns, sea swims and golden evenings by the coast.
Autumn on Bornholm
Golden forests, peaceful cliffs and excellent conditions for active exploring. Autumn is also a great time for local flavours, crafts and a slower pace.
Winter on Bornholm
Quiet days, short daylight hours and true hygge. Choose calm walks, small galleries and cosy cafés — winter shows Bornholm at its most intimate.
