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.
Tourist information

German.
Excursion

From Gudhjem or Allinge, catch the boat to Christiansø and neighboring
Frederiksø for an excursion into 17th Century Danish history.

German.

Fun for the whole family in mid-July, with food, drink, and activities supplied by more
