What you can see in one day - for art enthusiasts
Odense offers several high class artattractions - visit e.g. Gallery Brandts, Filosoffen, Fyns Grafiske Værksted and many more. The Gallery Quarter at Ny Vestergade/Søndergade is definitely worth a visit. And if you have time, you can visit Jens Galschiøt's workshop to the north of Odense.
Since the distances in Odense are very short you can reach a lot in one day, but few of us enjoy running between our art fixes, so I would recommend that you settle for one or two museums/galleries and then plan your route around the city so that it includes the sculptures or street artworks you would like to see.
If you would like to follow a recommended route around the city centre, you can choose to walk in H.C. Andersen's Footsteps or focus on our fairy tale sculptures.
