The night ferry from Køge to and from Bornholm

Ferry from Koege to Roenne.
Ferry pier in Koege

The night ferry at Køge is actually great. You get into the car at night and arrive early in the morning. There is enough space and sleeping space in the common area so that no cabin is required. When I have the time, I usually choose this option. Since you are avoiding Sweden, you do not need a passport. Bornholm is a bit hilly. So if you’re not into going uphill, buy a bike with some gear to adapt to steep slopes. Still a great place for cycling, a perfect island for a 10 day trip.
