Why Christiansø matters
Christiansø is a small island and former naval fortress reachable by a boat trip from Bornholm. There are no cars, so you explore on foot between old yellow houses, stone walls and harbour fortifications. Seabirds nest on the surrounding islands, and the whole place feels frozen in time. It makes a perfect day trip, but check the ferry times before you go.
Talking points
- No cars are allowed on the island.
- It was a naval fortress, with old military buildings still standing.
- Boats run from Bornholm in the summer season.
