Odense takes pride in being a green city, here are plenty of parks and green areas. In fact, it has been decided that, in the city centre, the nearest green area can never be more than 300 m away. We believe that all the greenery is part of what gives Odense its great, relaxed atmosphere.

At leve er ikke nok. Solskin, frihed og en lille blomst må man ha'. H.C. Andersen
