Checklist • layers • wind • comfort
Bornholm has a maritime climate: sunshine and wind often go hand in hand. Pack smart (in layers) so you stay comfortable at the beach, on a bike, and while sightseeing — no matter what the weather does.
On Bornholm, the weather can feel “mild”, but the wind can quickly change how warm it feels. The best hack is a simple trio: t-shirt + fleece + a light wind jacket.
“If you have a wind jacket and layers, you’re ready for 80% of situations on Bornholm.”
Must-have
A set that saves your comfort in wind, sun, short showers and longer walks. Start here, then add only the “extras” that match your trip style.
Sun + wind: swimwear plus a warm layer for evenings. A windproof outer layer is surprisingly useful.
A great time for active exploring. Pack a warmer layer and wind-resistant essentials.
If you’re planning cycling or hiking: prioritize comfort and breathable layers.
Safest option: several thinner layers instead of one thick jacket.
Comfort on paths and coastal walks makes a big difference.
Sun and wind can “trick” your sense of temperature.
Little items worth having in your daypack while exploring.
Usually yes — a light wind jacket or a hoodie is useful in the evening and on the beach when it’s windy.
Comfortable walking shoes (already broken in) + something light for the beach. If you’ll be active, choose a sturdier sole.
Layers, a windproof jacket, SPF, sunglasses and a small daypack. This set works in most situations.
Yes — ideally a lightweight rain jacket or a poncho. The weather can be changeable, especially outside summer.
Check weather & climate and trip planning — packing becomes easy.
