Welcome to Odense – where the fairy tale begins

Odense is evolving rapidly, and if you haven’t been in the past few years, you’ll be amazed by everything new the city has to offer. From the new Hans Christian Andersen House to a completely reimagined city centre where Thomas B. Thriges Gade once cut through, the light rail, the redeveloped harbour area, and much more. And the best part? It’s all within easy walking distance or just a few stops by bus or light rail.
