The city has had his share in history and provides a museum with Hans Christian Andersen. Old and new town areas blend in well. Great parks to walk around, all the shops are there plus some nice bars. Compared to Holland going out is expensive. € 20+ for two pints and a small bowl of nuts is a lot but hey, we're in a holiday ...
Odense is much smaller than Copenhagen and it is not far from CPH. Therefore, many tourists who visit Odense seem to take a day trip from CPH. However, Odense has its own charm. You will find it more if you stay there longer - I would say stay, at least, one night. It is always nice to walk on gågade (walking street) in the afternoon to look for a cafe/lunch place. There are many of them. In the evening, you may stroll around the Sortebrødre Torv area just behind H.C. Andersens Hus. That would make you think that you are timeslipped into the old days. There is a nice traditional Danish restaurant, Restaurant Grønttorvet, there. Try to taste Stegt flæsk - I liked it very much. And do not forget to join Vægtergang (night watchman's round) if you are visiting Odense in July/August. It will be a wonderful experience.
We visited Odense to see a concert at the Posten Music Hall. We were pleased that there was enough to fill a couple of days of sight seeing around that. A river cruise to the zoo was lovely as was a walk through the main city park and along the trails. There were several museum options - we only had time for one, The Montergarden, but it was really good with plenty of explanations in English. The main pedestrian area has a lot of bars and restaurants, but it's not terribly charming - just standard modern stores. There seems to be a lot happening in town - during our stay of 2 days, there was a major bicycle race, a German Oktoberfest event, an NBA exhibition event, as well as the concert we were there to see and other live music options.
Visit Odense Zoo - it is a beautiful place, you can easily spend a whole day there. Bring your own picnic and enjoy the beautiful surroundings near the forest and the river. Also, the environment for the animals is fantastic.
After the congestion and compression of humanity that is Copenhagen, the greenery and gentleness of Odense is refreshing and relaxing. A pretty, vibrant and enjoyable city in which to take a break in one's travels.
A lively city with plenty to see and many places to go. Not as much hustle and bustle as other cities which is good. The H.C. Andersen gardens and museum is well worth a look. Many excellent places to eat and drink and all within a short walking distance. Shops good too. There is a lot of construction going on in the city but this didn't affect our trip. Well worth the visit.
