Experiences in Sønderborg 2025

Sønderborg is a beautiful city, which we have called our attention to several times in recent years. Among other things, we have been over to award diplomas to the country's best ice house in 2020 as well as best burger in 2019.

Below you will find our tips for places to experience, eat and spend the night in and around Sønderborg.
