Do you remember the movie with Danny Kaye about Hans Christian Andersen? Here is your chance to visit this fairy tale town over them all; the birth- and childhoodtown of Hans Christian Andersen.
The town of Odense, in the middle of Denmark, is waiting for you to tell you a story about the Ugly Duckling, which later became a beautiful swan; Hans Christian Andersen.

On a city walk in Hans Christian Andersen's footsteps you will pass many places in Odense. The cathedral where he was confirmed, the place where his mother washed clothes, the place where he fell in love with the world of theatre, the house in which he was taught and many other places that belong to the story of Hans Christian Andersen.

The new Hans Christian Andersen Museum designed by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, is not a typical museum but a creative audiovisual fairy tale centre.

A contrast to this is the tiny house where he spent most of his childhood.

We also pass several sculptures visualising his fairy tales and some of his fairy tales will be recapped.

Suggested time for a town walk:

With the museum: 3½ - 4 hrs.

Without the museum 2½ - 3 hrs.
