Why Rønne matters

Rønne is the gateway to Bornholm, the island Danes love for its clear light, rocky coast and sandy beaches. The town itself is small, with old half-timbered houses, ceramics studios and a lively harbour. From here you can hire a bike and follow coastal paths to fishing villages, smokehouses, round churches and the dramatic ruins of a medieval fortress on the northern cliffs.

Talking points

  • Bornholm gets more sunshine than most of Denmark.
  • Smokehouses along the coast are known for smoked herring.
  • The island is best explored by bike on its network of cycle routes.
