Here you can find everything you need to plan your trip to our magnificient island.
The autumn on Bornholm is something quite special. The island’s rocks retain the summer heat for a long time, and there is plenty of opportunities to experience warm, beautiful sunny days, even if you travel to Bornholm well into autumn.
For the second year in a row, Bornholm has been named Denmark’s best holiday destination at the well-established and prestigious Danish Travel Awards.
We are extremely proud and grateful, especially because it is the island’s guest who have voted to ensure this fabulous recognition of our lovely holiday island once again.
Bornholm voted Denmark’s best holiday destination 2022 & 2023.
In addition to its beautiful nature, Bornholm in the autumn also offers world-class art and craftsmanship. If you’re interested, you can even become a craftsman for a day, as several of the island’s artisans hold workshops where you can try your hand at using natural materials to make your very own cup, bowl or something else entirely.
You must also experience the more traditional attractions, such as Northern Europe’s largest castle ruin, Hammershus, and try the island’s unique smokehouses. You can find much more inspiration for memorable experiences on this page.
The fact that Bornholm is an island only adds to that special holiday feeling because you have to travel by plane or ferry to get here. The holiday vibe sets in as soon as you reach the tranquility of the Baltic Sea, where you can lean back in your seat and let someone else take care of the transport.
There are several options if you want to sail to Bornholm: Take the ferry from Ystad to Rønne; the journey time is just 1 hour and 20 minutes – 3 hours in total if you drive from Copenhagen. You can also sail directly from Køge to Rønne, with a crossing of 5 hours and 30 minutes.
If you don’t want to bring your car to Bornholm, buses and trains depart from Copenhagen for Ystad and both stop right at the ferry terminal.
If you’re traveling from Germany, there is a direct ferry from Sassnitz/Rügen to Rønne on Bornholm that sails from March to December. The pleasant “Hammershus” car ferry sails from Wednesday to Monday all summer with several departures daily. The crossing takes just 3 hours and 20 minutes.
Why not fly to Bornholm? DAT flies directly from Kastrup and Billund to Rønne – it only takes 35 or 55 minutes respectively and is the perfect option for those who want a long weekend with time to properly unwind.
If you want to bring your dog or cat on holiday to Bornholm, you need to be aware of your travel route to the island; Sweden has special requirements that you need to consider.
