Bornholm
Why Go?
The sunniest part of Denmark, Bornholm lies way out in the Baltic Sea, 200km east of
Copenhagen. But it's not just (relatively) sunny skies that draw the hordes each year.
Mother Nature was in a particularly good mood when creating this Baltic beauty, bestow-
ing on it arresting chalk cliffs, soothing forests, bleach-white beaches and a pure, ethereal
light that painters do their best to capture.
Humankind added the beguiling details, from medieval fortress ruins and thatched fish-
ing villages, to the iconic rundkirker (round churches) and contemporary Bornholms Kun-
stmuseum. The island's ceramic and glassware artisans are famed throughout Denmark, as
are its historic smokehouses and ever-expanding league of food artisans. It's no wonder
that seven out of 10 visitors to Bornholm return.
From October to April, many places close, so always do your homework
