    Allinge-Sandvig is a city on Bornholm. These two amalgamated towns on the northern coast of the island are romantic and pretty and have hundreds of old fashioned half-timbered houses.

    Allinge is especially lovely and famous for its Smokehouse and its annual Jazz Festival. For a week during summers, Allinge is home to 'Folkemoede' with hotels, hostels and private accommodation reserved up to a year in advance. Sandvig is the closest town to popular tourist destination Hammershus Castle.
