solopes Says: What a difference when the sun shines!In my first two times in Ronne the weather was cloudy and rainy, and the city looked sad and cold. In my third presence the sun finnaly joined us, and everything became brighter. The colourful old quarter is very nice, quiet and clean,...
solopes Says: Inland and by the church, the unusual location for the lighthouse is easy to understand - the port is there, adjacent to town. It may be considered a landmark, since behind it unfolds the beautiful old Ronne's quarters.
MikeAtSea Says: One of the larger old buildings in the old town centre is the beautiful mail post office. It is a large brick building with decoration and the seal of the island below the roof. In front is the little park and the square of Lille Torv.
MikeAtSea Says: The second square is closer to the old town of Rønne and gives more of the old charm of the town. A park is situated in the middle of the square and the main post office is towards the end. Several cafes and shops surround the square.
MikeAtSea Says: The larges square in the city of Rønne is Store Torv. The square accommodates a large parking area and is lined by bars, restaurants and cafes as wells shops and banks. It is a good orientation point to the centre of town.
MikeAtSea Says: The lighthouse dating back to 1880 is close to the new modern port of Rønne. In the past when the port was less commercial this was the guiding light through the Baltic Ocean and to the entrance of the port of Rønne.
MikeAtSea Says: Erichsens Gård is located in Laksegade. It is a museum consisting of a house and garden depicting an upper-class citizen’s home as it appeared in the last half or the 19th century. A great view into the daily life of people living on the island some 200 years ago.
MikeAtSea Says: The renowned Hjorths Keramikfabrik was built in 1859 and is situated in Krystalgade. Today the factory is a ceramics museum with demonstration workshops. The descendents of the Hjorths dynasty are still creating beautiful are there today.
MikeAtSea Says: A building from 1823 is the home of the oldest functioning theatre in Denmark. Every year part of the repertoire includes the successful performances during the annual summer revue.
MikeAtSea Says: The oldest building in Rønne is at Talbodgade 1 situated near the harbour and was originally constructed as a warehouse for storing provisions for the Royal Navy. The plank doors are believed to originate from Hammershus.

I really do think that good eating starts in Paris, going south, getting the top in Portugal.
(No, I'm not chauvinist, I know that until twenty years ago, Portugal was one of the worst countries in Europe to eat. But when we started to understand the potential of the Mediterranean food, the progress was fabulous. In taste, variety and healthiness, we are in the top, only presentation needing evolution.)
Another problem that we feel in northern countries is... time. The day ends later in the south, and dinner is usually around eight, sometimes later (in Spain 10 or 11 is normal). I had big problems managing meals time in Denmark.
The first of them right upon my arrival - the plane arrived past eight, and getting to my hotel, restaurant was closed. They suggested me to try Radisson, hundred meters apart, that used to close later, at 9 PM(!).
I rushed there, arriving almost at closing time, decided to eat... something.
Well, I had a very good stake, a good wine, served with gentleness, in what has been my best meal in Denmark.
The price... well, who cares?

Danes produce a number of beer brands, the more renown are Tuborg and Carlsberg. In Danish if you order a beer you would order an Øl – not to be confused with oil. Though make sure you have enough change with you. I paid EUR 10 for a small beer during my stay in Rønne – alcohol is not cheap in Scandinavia!

solopes Says: There are several ferry lines linking Bornholm to the continent, but the commonly used by foreigners is the one that links Ronne with Ystad, in Sweden, in about 75 minutes. The other internal line, to Kogen, takes more than 6 hours and is only made overnight. There are also...
MikeAtSea Says: The island of Bornholm is a cycling paradise. All around the island one can find plenty of cycling paths that are separated from the normal roads. There are shops available to hire bicycles and at the tourist information centres one can purchase maps with an overview of all...
MikeAtSea Says: The island offers a good network of roads that circles the island as well as crosses it on a number of places. Good signage is available throughout the island.
MikeAtSea Says: Being an island without bridges to the mainland Bornholm can only beach reached by ferry or ship. The closest mainland is Swden and the port of Ystad. However there are also ferry services to Sassnitz (Germany), Swinoujscie (Poland) and Kolobryeg (Poland). During high season...
The centre of the city is, as usual, dominated by commerce. I noticed no many restaurants, nor big malls.
Things seem to rely in local commerce, though China is already there, as expected...

If you come from the south be careful about your meals' time.
I arrived at Ronne's airport about 8.30 PM and almost lost dinner. My hotel's restaurant closed at 8.00 PM(?) and I had to run to Marriot, closing one hour later - I arrive 5 minutes before closing time and had a good expensive dinner.
A few days later, in Nexo, I had trouble finding a restaurant at... 7.00PM.
It's important to go up north to really appreciate our lively south, where you may eat almost 24 over 24 hours.

solopes Says: One thing that pleased me in Ronne is the harmony in building's volumetry. A few examples of modern architecture combine well withe the traditional style and proportions of the houses. Colour helps to give a warm look, in a cold weather.
MikeAtSea Says: Even though Denmark is part of the European Union the country chose not to be part of the Euro monetary Union. Therefor when visiting Denmark you will still be paying with Danish Korner.
Bronze Age Viking relics, curious round churches, inviting beaches, pleasing seaside villages, delicate blown glass and delicious smoked fish are each part of the charm of this idyllic isle off the......
Roenne is the first place most people get to on Bornholm. As it happens, they are also eager to leave it to get to one of the many other sights on the island. This is perfectly understandable, since...
In my first visit I had not much time to Ronne, but this time I could explore it twice. It's really a beautiful city, with the old quarters very well preserved and maintained. As expected, it is also...
