Approximate road distances. Check flights and bus schedules before you travel.

Check before booking. From Copenhagen, domestic flights take about 35 minutes to Bornholm Airport, 5 km from the centre. The catamaran from Ystad, Sweden, takes about 1h20, with train or bus connections from Copenhagen to Ystad. There is also a ferry from Køge, taking around 5h30. Requirements may change: confirm before travel.

How many days

Half a day for the centre and the museum. As a base, Rønne works for three or four days of sightseeing around the island.

When to go

From June to August days are usually long and the sea is less cold; May and September are quieter. In winter it's cold and windy, and ferries and buses run less frequently.

The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.

Do you need a car?

It's not essential. Buses run from Rønne to all the villages, and there are bike rentals near the harbour. A car helps if you want to combine Hammershus, Gudhjem and Dueodde in one day; it can come on the ferry or be rented on the island.
