Whether it’s planned or a surprise, a layover in Ronne gives you a genuine shot at exploring somewhere new. The trip from RNN to the city takes roughly 30 minutes by local transport, and we’ve put together this guide to help you spend your time wisely.
What to Know Before Leaving the Terminal
A few things to sort out before you leave RNN:
- Entry requirements: Make sure you have the right visa or entry clearance for Denmark. Transit visas and tourist visas are different things — double-check before you exit.
- Travel time: The trip to Ronne takes about 30 minutes by local transport. Factor in the return trip and at least 90 minutes of buffer for security and boarding.
- Currency: The local currency is local currency. Cards are widely accepted in most places, but carrying some the local currency in cash is a good idea for smaller vendors.
Top Picks for a Quick Visit
With limited time, focus on what’s accessible. In Ronne, two standouts are:
- Rønne Old Town Walk — No tickets or reservations needed — just explore at your own pace.
- Bornholm Museum — Worth a stop if you have at least an hour to spare.
Both are realistic options even if you only have a few hours to spare.
If you’d rather stay inside RNN — maybe your layover is shorter than expected, or you just prefer to stay close to your gate — there are still ways to pass the time:
- Relax in the Departure Hall
- Bornholm Airport Kiosk & Shop

Free WiFi is generally available at RNN, which is handy for checking maps and transport schedules. For connectivity in Ronne itself, an eSIM is the easiest route — services like Airalo offer data plans for Denmark that you can activate straight from your phone, no physical SIM swap needed.
Where to Rest During Your Layover
Long overnight layover? Your options at RNN include terminal seating (look for areas away from the main walkways) and, if available, airport lounges with day passes. Some airports in Denmark also have transit hotels or sleeping pods — worth checking availability before your trip.
