The City's Squares
The city’s squares are small oases and breathing spaces in the heart of a busy center. The oldest are paved with cobblestones, while the newer ones feature yellow Odense tiles, seen throughout the city. They all invite visitors and locals to pause, sit down, and enjoy the surroundings.
