Christiansø's passenger ferry in Allinge harbor
Many Bornholm tourism sites are in Danish or German. If you visit Bornholm, don't give too much thought to language
problems. Most Danes speak some English, at least in places like tourist offices, hotels,
banks, and ferry terminals.

From Gudhjem or Allinge, catch the boat to Christiansø and neighboring
Frederiksø for an excursion into 17th Century Danish history.
Amusement park
Joboland Brændesgårdhaven
You don't have to be young to enjoy this family-oriented theme park in a garden setting,
but you'll enjoy it even more if you've brought a child or two. In Danish and
German.

Festival
Fun for the whole family in mid-July, with food, drink, and activities supplied by more
than 500 local volunteers.
Transportation
BornholmsTrafikken
Bornholm's car and passenger ferries are clean, comfortable, and efficient. (Tip: If you
take the overnight ferry back to Copenhagen, head for the dining room after the ship lands
and enjoy a superb buffet breakfast with the ship's officers.)
