  The Funen Village - Open Air Museum

  2.89 km

  All buildings date from the 18th and 19th centuries and are sourced on Funen. Most are built in half-timbering and with thatched roofs. The village is surrounded by fields and gardens, and you can meet livestock in stables, on pasture or in the fields, ploughing the arable land with the farmer. The Funen Village tells the story of both past and future, sustainability and community.

  A village with inspiration for the future
  The Funen Village is an attraction that shows how people lived and what they did in the 18th and 19th centuries. In addition, The Funen Village places great emphasis on sustainability, recycling and community, which is demonstrated through the village's activities and stories. It is a historical museum that tries to use the history of the past to change the future - precisely by focusing on sustainability and community. The Funen Village shows life in the past, when people were in closer covenant with nature, to inspire you and your family, arouse your curiosity and make you wiser about the past and the future.

  An experience for the whole family
  The Funen Village has something for all the family, young and old. Children and young people under 18 don't have to pay admission, so get going! Throughout the season you can enjoy activities such as horse-drawn carriage rides, various village tales, travelling theatre and many other exciting activities. You can also learn how to milk cows, make clothes from flax, how honey is made in the village and much more. You can always find the whole year's programme here: www.denfynskelandsby.dk, so you can choose the activities you want to experience.

  History programmes and summer evenings
  When you visit the Funen Village, you can listen to stories told by the volunteers. They perform the roles of cooks, coachmen, field workers, candle drippers, goose maidens and other village residents. As you listen to the stories, you can watch the characters as they go about their daily chores. This creates a unique and special atmosphere for you to experience what it was like to live in the 18th century. In addition to the many volunteers and activities, the Funen Village is open every Thursday in July, where you can enjoy the summer atmosphere of the village.

  The Fairy Tale Garden in Odense

  4.98 km

  You will find the fairytale garden by Odense Å, just behind Odense Cathedral and Odense City Hall. Via a nice wooden bridge, you can cross the river over to the rotunda, a small circular island in the garden. Depending on the season, the beds here are bursting with spring bulbs, dahlias and perennials, and you can sit on the benches and enjoy the view. The cosy wooden staircase along the water invites you to sit and watch the water and the ducks.

  In 1949, the H.C. Andersen statue, created by Louis Hasselris, was placed in the garden. Close by in the river, Erik Heide's sculpture The Paper Boat from 1985 sails along, and there are several other sculptures around the park.

  The pergola on the rotunda, the bridges in the garden and the Chinese wall have been designed and executed in quality materials, worthy of a town hall garden. The original pergola showcased a beautiful pattern of diamond-shaped beds.

  The garden was laid out in 1876 by the Reading Association, and initially, it was closed to ordinary visitors. The reading association was a library for wealthy citizens, and only people with access cards could visit. In 1942, the Reading Association transferred the garden to Odense Municipality, and a completely new park emerged. Behind the project were the garden architects C. Th. Sørensen and P. Wad, in collaboration with architect B. Helweg-Møller, who was the architect of the town hall.

  Odense ZOO - Zoological gardens

  4.29 km

  Get up close to the animals
  A visit to Odense ZOO is about much more than simply observing animals. Throughout the day, you can experience feeding sessions, training demonstrations and talks where the keepers share insights into animal behaviour, habitats and the challenges many species face in the wild.

  The zoo also offers a variety of activities and experiences where children can learn more about animals, nature and biodiversity through play and hands-on activities.
  
  More than a zoo

  Botanical Garden

  5.05 km

  The History of the Garden
  The Garden was founded in 1948 by the teacher Arne Emdal and was originally owned by the Odense School Authority. It was named the "School Botanical Garden" and was used for botany education and plant distribution. Later, the garden was taken over by Odense's park department.

  The Garden is now an inspiration for garden owners and a popular destination that offers a unique botanical experience. Visitors can admire an impressive variety of perennials and Denmark's largest collection of birch and fern plants from around the world.

  Hans C. Andersen's Childhood Home

  5.07 km

  The house opened to the public in 1930. The cobblestone street sets the stage for a visit to the past.

  The house contains the very humble rooms which comprised the home of the great fairy tale writer and to which his dearest memories of childhood are attached. Don't confuse this house with the actual museum in the historic quarter, which you can visit also. The rooms mimic Hans Christian Andersen's descriptions in his autobiography and give you a good impression of the poverty that marked his early years.

  The charming backyard garden, which was established in 2018, is filled with plants and flowers that Andersen mentioned in his writings, like docks, an elderflower bush and more. The garden is small and surrounded by brick walls separating you from the neighbours. The atmosphere is calm, and it is hard to remember that you are standing in the city centre of Denmark's 3rd largest city.

  The Hans Christian Andersen Childhood Home is free for children under 18. Please note that opening hours may differ during holidays, visit the website for further information.

  Vintapperstræde by the Latin Quarter

  5.26 km

  Vintapperstrædet consists of 25 retail and office spaces, all of which are charming and historically decorated, as well as a wide selection of restaurants.

  Vintapperstrædet's street association ensures a good atmosphere and cosy events throughout the year, with Magic Days, H. C. Andersen Festival, Saturday Summer Jazz, Halloween and Flower Festival, among others, being periods where extra effort is put into decorating the small alley.

  The approximately 100 metre long street was opened in 1977 and was named after Marinus Lytjens Vinhandel in Slotsgade, to which the alley served as a backyard until then. Especially in the evening hours, Vintapperstrædet lives up to its name as many people choose to make their way past the cosy restaurants, bars and cafés that line the small alley.

  The Danish Railway Museum

  5.87 km

  Feel the history as you get up close and personal with the large locomotives and beautiful old carriages. Let your imagination soar and play engine driver in the cabs of the impressive steam locomotives.
  
  Take a seat on the uncomfortable benches in the old passenger carriages, peek inside the royal saloon carriages and admire the snow plough from back in the days of ice winter. You can also set the little model trains in motion and study the fascinating ferry models.

  Hop aboard the mini train
  At the Danish Railway Museum we have our own miniature train. The mini train takes you through the Danish cultural landscape and past child-sized railway history environments. The train departs several times a day.

  Younger visitors will love the Locomotive Master Bus's workshop and the Children's Railway Station - a child-sized railway station with a ticket office, control tower and space to play.

  Ride a vintage train
  It's a very special experience to stand close to the steam locomotive, enveloped in smoke, steam and the smell of coal. At the Danish Railway Museum, we have our own railway tracks and station on the museum grounds. You can take a trip on the vintage train on selected days throughout the year. We operate both railcars and steam trains. Rides at the museum can be seen on our website under "Activities".
