General presentation
Odense et la Fionie
Town of Andersen, manor houses, gardens and hilly countryside in the center of the island of Fionie.
The discovery of Odense and Fionia revolves around Hans Christian Andersen's House, Den Fynske Landsby and Egeskov's Castle. The stay thus alternates between urban life, the countryside and the heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Maison de Hans Christian Andersen
The Andersen Museum builds a world of gardens, woods and stories around the writer born in the Odense. Installations do not merely illustrate tales: they question their imagination and how they continue to be read.
Place indismissible
Den Fynske Landsby
Den Fynske Landsby brings together farms, mills and gardens transplanted into a rural landscape at the gates of Odense. Animals, demonstrations and interiors allow us to understand fionian life in the time of Andersen.
Castle
Château d'Egeskov
Egeskov is a Renaissance castle surrounded by water, gardens and large trees to the south of Odense. Labyrinths, collections and footbridges in the canopy make it a much more varied visit than a simple path of historic halls.
Culture and heritage
Centre d'Odense
The centre of Odense mix low streets, renovated neighborhoods and traces of the city where Andersen grew up. It travels easily on foot, with a quiet atmosphere that leaves time for museums and cafes.
