Highlights of Bornholm
Bornholm may be part of Denmark but it is very much it’s own unique place. The island has it’s own language, climate and it’s own beautiful nature; a combination of Scandinavian rocky landscapes and charming warmth of the Mediterranean. This hidden gem of the Baltic sea is the perfect place to visit year-round.
In the summertime the days are long with a huge array of diverse activities and there is the opportunity to go bathing in the sea. Springtime’s sea of flowers, pretty evening light and the various festivals make this an attractive time of year to travel whereas autumn is full of cultural experiences such as the culture week festival and plenty of activities focused on getting out into nature. Winter brings a darker season but it is no less charming; skiing, hiking and cold water swimming are all possible and in the run up to Christmas you can find bazaars across the whole island with Bornholm’s famous Christmas Market at the harbour as the main event.
