Odense

Denmark

Odense is the third largest city in Denmark and the capital of Funen, the second largest island in Denmark. Odense is the hometown of the famous fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen. It is full of fairy tale atmosphere and is one of the happiest cities in the world.

Odense is a beautiful and charming city. On both sides of the road leading to the city, the houses with red walls, red tiles and high roofs are fascinating. Entering the city, those typical European-style buildings are not tall and magnificent, but simple and elegant. The Odense River is like a green ribbon, winding quietly through the middle of the city. There are beautiful gardens and botanical gardens on both sides of the river, with lush flowers and trees and fresh air, making Odense even more beautiful.

Odense is like a fairytale town, with traditional Danish-style low wooden buildings everywhere. Two whole blocks have been well preserved in the style of Andersen's time. On both sides of the cobblestone or brick roads, rows of colorful old houses are neatly arranged, with small white windows and tall red chimneys, making people feel as if they are in a fairytale world.
