Odense - Birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen

Odense is situated at the very heart of Denmark. However, it is not the location that put this place on the map. It is the famous author of fairy tales Hans Christian Andersen. This third-largest city in Denmark offers a visit at Andersen’s house and the museum dedicated to him. Another Odense-born celebrity is the composer Carl Nielsen. Carl Nielsen Museum is dedicated to his life and work.

Odense is located on Denmark’s second largest island of Funen. Funen is situated between the island of Zealand (visit the castles of Zealand) and mainland Denmark. Funen is packed with manor houses and castles, including the stunning Egeskov Castle.
