Allinge-Sandvig
Two adjoining harbour towns at the island's north end, with smokehouses, rock swimming pools and colorful old houses. It's the base for visiting Hammershus.
Allinge and Sandvig are two small fishing harbours next to each other in the north. Colorful old houses, rock swimming pools by the sea and smokehouses line the coast. Sandvig has a small beach and a path into the Hammeren peninsula. Every mid-June, Allinge hosts Folkemødet, Denmark's “People's Meeting”, when politicians and the public gather and the whole town is packed. There are plenty of restaurants and places to stay, making it a good base for exploring the north.
