Experience the magic of Christmas in Odense

In the city of fairy tales, magical Christmas experiences await you and your loved ones. Back in H.C. Andersen’s time, Christmas was all about the joy of coming together, enjoying peaceful moments, and celebrating togetherness. Odense embraces that spirit and offers a special holiday season filled with cosy traditions, heartfelt connections, and classic Christmas experiences for the whole family.

At the same time, Odense is a modern city with excellent restaurants, exciting cultural events, festivals, concerts, and a vibrant urban vibe.

Big city vibes and Christmas nostalgia

Take a stroll down the cobbled streets where history whispers from the colourful facades of quaint old houses, and let your imagination run wild at Denmark’s very own Christmas Calendar Exhibition.

In Odense, the Christmas spirit gently settles over the city, bathed in festive lights, where time seems to stand still – in the most nostalgic way.
