A strong summer season in Odense: Tourism growth well above the national average

Odense looks back on a particularly positive peak season. In summer 2025, Odense recorded 215,996 overnight stays — an increase of 6.9% compared with last year. This makes Odense the Danish city with the highest tourism growth during the summer.

We believe the best stories come from within. That’s why we work closely with local enthusiasts, cultural players and the business community to share close and authentic stories that reflect Odense as it is – and as it aspires to be. We collaborate with both national and international journalists and influencers to ensure broad and relevant coverage that reaches the right audiences.

Our press efforts are supported by an extensive photo library, a professional video archive and an up-to-date media kit that make it easy for the media and our partners to share what Odense has to offer.

Through our press work, we help attract visitors, strengthen the city’s brand and contribute to tourism growth – to the benefit of the whole city.
