Visit Odense

Visit Odense welcomes you to Hans Christian Andersen’s home town and the ”capital” of Funen.

Odense is full of charming high streets, lots of museums and activities, Odense Zoo, lovely green parks and much more.

On their web site you can find information on restaurants, shopping, accommodation, events, sights and whatever else you need to plan your trip to Odense.

Odense is a great city for a city break. Visit the harbour, the Historic Quarter, our Latin Quarter or, for something completely different, Fruens Bøge (a wooded area by the river in the southern part of the city centre). 2.7 km of high streets mean that you can shop ´til you drop and cafés and restaurants with outdoor service create a great atmosphere.

If you like a bit of culture with your shopping and café hopping, Odense has lots of interesting attractions for you. Hans Christian Andersen is perhaps the most famous person to come out of Odense and of course we have several museums dedicated to our favorite fairy tale writer.

If history is more your thing, we have several museums and attractions each with their own specialty from 18th century village life in Denmark to Viking Age in Odin's Odense and Cold War at the Bunker Museum.

For art afficionados Brandt's is a must see. The gallery is located in the Latin Quarter and always hosts several exhibitions at once.

Welcome to Odense!
