Tour description
Odense is Denmark's third-largest city and the hometown of the world's most famous storyteller, Hans Christian Andersen. It is a charming city with a fairy-tale old town, featuring cobblestone alleys and colorful half-timbered houses that are a delight to explore. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the city's heritage.
You will stroll through the old town where Andersen grew up, admire the cathedral, and hear about fairy tales and Danish history. Along the way, you will discover the city's charming alleys. Picturesque and straight out of a storybook, Odense is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
