About Odense

Welcome to Odense - right in the middle of Denmark.
Odense is situated on Funen, which is packed full of manor houses and castles, such as the stunning Egeskov Castle.

The city of Odense, the "capital” of Funen, with its charming streets, museums, lovely greeen parks, is also the home town of the world known fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen.

At the Hans Christian Andersen Museum, you can form a strong impression of the writer as a person as well as the world he lived in. You can also visit his childhood home, see his sketchings and papercuts and take a Hans Christian Andersen guided tour of the city.

The city is one of Denmark's oldest towns. It dates back to pre-Viking times and offers you a rich mix of historical periods and attractions. Visit the  Funen Village, an open-air museum in a reconstructed 19th century village.
