Rønne

Spend your holiday in the capital of Bornholm

With a holiday at a hotel in Rønne on Bornholm, you are close to everything - both town, forest, beach and the rest of the many experiences that Bornholm has to offer. If you are considering a self-drive holiday to Bornholm, then Rønne is the obvious choice, for a relaxing short break or a romantic couple's holiday. If you are a family with children, Rønne has plenty of child-friendly activities. In Rønne you will find a number of the island's museums. It is also the Port of Rønne you arrive in when you sail to Bornholm with the Bornholm Line between Ystad and Rønne. At the harbor is also the beautiful and iconic St. Nicolai Church, which is definitely worth a visit if you want to experience architecture on your holiday in Rønne. If you prefer to stay near an idyllic forest area in a holiday home in Rønne, then you should choose to stay in a holiday home on Strandløkken not far from Rønne's town centre. If you are more into hotel rooms, you also have the opportunity to stay at a luxury hotel in Rønne.

City and cultural experiences in Rønne

From your hotel in Rønne, you are close to the city centre, where you will find Store Torv and Lille Torv, both of which offer exciting shops, cafes and a wonderful atmosphere. At Store Torv you will be able to experience the cozy square atmosphere in the form of live music and market days on most afternoons, and a flea market on Sundays. Almost just around the corner from Store Torv, you will find its little sister, Lille Torv. When you stay in a holiday apartment in Rønne, you should sit down at a café and experience the market life - or go on to explore Rønne. Just up the charming Lille Torv in Rønne, you will find the Main Guard, with its characteristic and beautiful red-washed facades, white windows and black-tarred footwall. The Main Guard was built in 1734, as a guard and jail house. At that time, it was planned that Rønne should be a fortress town. However, the project did not get further than the construction of the Main Guard. The building is constructed of materials that were taken from the castle ruins, Hammershus, when it was demolished. There is a lot to experience on your holiday in Rønne. Fortunately, you are never far away when you have chosen to stay in a holiday apartment in Rønne.

Taste Bornholm-produced foods

If you are staying in a holiday apartment in Rønne, you can choose to go a little further north and visit Torvehal Bornholm, which offers a mecca of Bornholm-produced food. Here you can, among other things, both see and taste products from Hallegaard Farm Shop, Stigs Oliven, Svaneke Øl and many more. Torvehallen also has a small café, so you don't come back hungry to your holiday apartment in Rønne. When you are on holiday in Rønne, you can easily spend many hours in the cobbled streets of Rønne, so it may be in order to have a little well-being. Are you ready for spa experiences? Then Griffen Spahotel offers a package deal, where you have free access to the hot tub with a stay at the luxury hotel in Rønne. Jump in the sauna, or enjoy one of the many treatments that Alea Wellness offers at Griffen Spahotel.

With a holiday home in Rønne, you are also close to Rønne Theater, where parts of the building were built in 1789, and thus Rønne Theater is Denmark's oldest theater building. Throughout the year there are many fun and interesting performances. If you are into other cultural experiences, Rønne's "Musikhuzet" offers concerts or stand-up shows with top Danish names almost every weekend. Before or after the performance, you can enjoy an a la carte menu in Griffen Spahotel's restaurant, or perhaps a delicious seafood buffet in Fredensborg Badehotel's restaurant?

Old Town

A short distance from your hotel room, right by the square and the city centre, is Rønne's old town with its crooked streets and charming little houses. There are also large merchants' houses from the 1800s, which testify to a time when Rønne was home to many wealthy shipowners. Enjoy the beautiful houses on a relaxing walk along the quaint streets. Stop by Hjorths Fabrik, which is a living museum where you experience Bornholm's proud ceramics tradition. You can read more about Hjorts Keramikfabrik right here. Also try to visit the ceramicist Mie Mølgaard in the small streets close to Griffen Spahotel. Mie Mølgaard is one of today's stars in the ceramics sky, and her beautiful works have already found their way to Bornholm's Art Museum.

If you want to rewind time, visit Erichsens Gaard, which, like Hjorts Fabrik, is also a living museum, where you see what a wealthy home looked like in the 1850s. The garden at Erichsens Gaard is worth a visit in itself. Get more information about Erichsens Gaard right here. Enjoy the flowers and the green garden before returning home to your hotel room in Rønne at the sustainable Green Solution House, where there is room for peace, contemplation and new ideas before a new and exciting day in Rønne awaits. 

Experience Bornholm's exciting history

If you stay in a holiday home in Rønne, you have easy access to, among other things, Bornholm's museum. Here you can experience Bornholm's history through 10,000 years. Due to its location far from the rest of Denmark, Bornholm has had its very own development. Bornholm was centrally located on the sea routes to the Baltic countries, and thus Bornholm was an important trading center in the "old days". The trade created life and great wealth on Bornholm, but the riches also attracted less desirable guests in the form of pirates. Today, only desired guests spend their holidays on Bornholm - perhaps they have chosen to stay in a holiday home in Rønne just like you.

World War 2 on Bornholm

Look forward to many exciting parts of Denmark's history that you may not have heard of before when you stay in a holiday home on your holiday in Rønne. At the Citadel, which in the 1600s was part of the defence of Rønne, there is also the exciting defence museum, where you can experience Bornholm during World War II. While the rest of Denmark celebrated the liberation in May 1945, Bornholm's German commander refused to surrender the island to Russia, as he only had the authority to surrender Bornholm to British troops. - But the British had "forgotten" Bornholm, so instead Rønne was massively bombed by Russian planes - and subsequently occupied by Russian troops until 1946. If you want to experience more of Bornholm's historical past before heading back to your holiday home in Rønne, then you can take a walk among the Swedish houses. The beautiful pastel-coloured houses were a gift to Sweden after World War II, where the Russian bombings led to almost 3000 houses being made uninhabitable and 750 Bornholm families were left without a home. Sweden delivered 300 wooden houses, which today constitute a cozy and sought-after residential area in Rønne. The Defence Museum also tells about Bornholm's important role during the subsequent Cold War. Exciting spy and defection stories await you on your holiday at a hotel in Rønne.

Spend your holiday in the city centre

After a safe overnight stay at a hotel in Rønne, you may want to visit one of Rønne's lovely beaches. If you stay in one of Strandløkken's holiday homes, or in a hotel room at Green Solution House, then you are only 300 meters away from the beautiful beach Galløkken, where you can take a walk through the forest on the small forest paths and experience the Bornholm nature. A little further north of Rønne is Antoinette Beach, from where you can see far up the west coast of the island. It is also possible to get on the beach inside Rønne town, along the beach promenade in Rønne, right next to Rønne Marina, is Nørrekås – a cozy little beach with a bathing jetty, just 3 kilometers from your holiday home in Rønne.
