Despite its status as the third-largest city in Denmark, Odense is a lovely and convenient town – and is surprisingly green with several picturesque parks and the river Odense Å winding its way through the townscape. 

The fairy-tale city boasts a wide range of specialist  shops, performance venues, markets, galleries, cobbled streets and green oases, yet is also steeped in history and an enchanting atmosphere. Odense is not just Hans Christian Andersen’s home town – it is also one of the oldest towns in Denmark with a history stretching back more than 1,000 years.  Odense has a flourishing cultural scene as well as a wealth of sights and attractions such as the Hans Christian Andersen House and Museum, the Funen Village and the main public park, Kongens Have.  

Small Danish Hotels has places to stay in the centre of Odense, but also just outside the city where you can stay in idyllic surroundings yet close to the pulse of metropolitan life and everything there is to see and do.
