Nice museum to demonstrate the varioius background histrical stories accordingly around Andersen. Visitors and fancies shall soon catch the meaning the life and passion of Andersen in the way that majority of people know about. Such as most the fairy tales, fatasy, journey, love affairs, aspiration, glory, poor desperate childhood of his life and so on. The Childhood Home is well kept within museum, and amazingly arranged by all the built things about it inside of museum. That's why visitors impress how Andersen respectly regarded by Denish people. It's good place to hang around during the city tour. Either with family or without. Audio support also available while visit the museum. We spent apprax. 1 and half hour over there.

We only visited the outside of it after dinner and drinks because we were nearby and curious, so I can't speak to the indoor experience but just seeing the outside was already neat and interesting so I'm sure going in only adds to that! We visited the HCA museum earlier in the day which was absolutely amazing and this was a nice little follow up, even in the middle of the night! Love the character and charm of the old building and the slanted door and walls were cool to see.

The H.C. Andersen Childhood Home in Odense is far more than a museum; it is a quiet, deeply moving tribute to one of literature’s most poetic souls. Nestled in the heart of this charming little Danish town, the humble cottage where Andersen spent his early years stands as a poignant reminder that greatness often begins in the most modest of places. The house is small, almost startling in its simplicity. Yet it once held a boy whose imagination soared far beyond the cramped rooms and threadbare comforts. His father, a poor shoemaker with the soul of a dreamer, read to him from Arabian Nights and instilled in him a sense of wonder. That spark would one day ignite stories that have touched millions. His mother, a hardworking washerwoman, struggled to keep the family afloat, and life here was marked by cold winters, hunger, and hardship. Andersen eventually left Odense to pursue a future in Copenhagen, and as he climbed the ranks of fame and literary recognition, he became increasingly estranged from his past. The boy who once walked barefoot through the streets of Odense would grow distant from his mother and half-sister, their lives bound to the poverty he had escaped, while his own path led to royal courts and literary salons. That emotional chasm, between the longing for belonging and the loneliness of becoming, echoes powerfully through his work. This small museum conveys all of that with quiet dignity. It does not glorify, it reflects. Through personal artifacts and well-curated exhibits, it offers a window into the emotional and social realities that shaped Andersen's voice. His tales, often dismissed as children’s stories, are in truth layered with sorrow, moral courage, and fragile hope. Whether it is the misunderstood Ugly Duckling, the tragic Little Match Girl, or the icy resilience of The Snow Queen, his works carry the lyrical pain of someone who knew what it meant to be unseen, unwanted, and yet still to dream. Odense itself is a delight: a town of cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, and a gentle, storybook atmosphere that makes it easy to imagine the young Hans Christian wandering its alleys, collecting bits of life and longing to weave into tales. Visiting this house in such a town feels like stepping into one of his stories — not one of grand castles, but one of humble beginnings, quiet resilience, and enduring magic.

Very nice activity for both young and old! Suitable for kids 11 and 14! The gardens are beautiful, the restaurant a bit pricy but very nice. Veey friendly and helpful staff! The kids creativity zone was well maintained and great for digferemt ages!

Welcome! This space is a flawless recreation of Hans Christian Andersen's childhood home. It’s a powerful and poignant reminder that from these incredibly humble, confined walls, a great soul and an imagination that would one day enchant the world were born.

When I arrived, it’s not open yet. Only look at outside. Basically, very near the museum.

If you don't want to read anything you will see all the rooms in 5 minutes. Only in one room there are some Andersen's memories to read. This Museum is free of charge, when you visit the main museum that is close to this one. The texts are also in English. There is even a toilet just outside of the Andersen's Childhood house.

I loved the experience specially as foreigner got to experience village style house of Europe and traditional construction of different times.

One of the most interesting and enjoyable experiences I’ve ever had. The farm buildings are so full of cool things to see and learn about, I could go back many times. My only comment, and this is not a criticism by any means, is without historical interpreters - the places feels somewhat listless. Granted that takes staffing and money- both of which are hard to come by, but I’d say that this visit made my entire Denmark vacation worthwhile.

A great experience, a small Danish Pompeii of the 1700-1800. Talk with the old people here and there, they really offer great gems on history and knowledge, I finally understood why old danish houses are done the way they were done. Great for kids also. Highly recommended for anyone doing an on the road holiday through Danemark.

It's a cute museum which helps you get a better grip on what life was like on Funen some 150-200 years ago. Especially fun with children. I liked the spin they put on the experience relating things to sustainability and circularity.

Interesting to learn about the life of Danish gamers and villagers in the 19th century. Unfortunately no guides during the week and all tekst is in Danish. You can use the Useeum app for English explanation with every building

A nice way to explore the past. A relaxing atmosphere and super chill farm animals. It's a good way to experience nature and fresh air, see some super interesting old buildings and have some exercise. Lots of place to eat what one brings from home but I'm glad we forgot ours and experienced the restaurant inside

The Funen Village is worth a visit. You travel back in time to see how life was like in the 1800s. You get to go into pretty much all the buildings and get a real feeling how it was like to live in these structures. It’s also pretty cool that they have some farm animals here as well. The entrance to this place is through the modern looking building close to the main road. Parking is plentiful.

Nice, polite staff. Quality gift shop. Interesting exhibition (went to see one on sexuality: "Love, lyst, and freedom"). Location is well placed in the center of Odense with dining opportunities everywhere. Only reason for the fifth star missing is the size of the exhibitions. Brandts prefer a great deal of open space, which is beautifully set up, but with an interesting exhibition it's difficult for the visitor to "get enough".

It is a cool art museum, though the enjoyment you will get depends on your appreciation of the temporary exhibitions. The permanent one, although fun is not very big. I enjoyed the closelings exhibition as well as the one on Jens Juel. The layout of the museum is modern and located within an interesting building. Entry is 75dkk for students.

Very nice museum, I liked the permanent collection as the featured exhibitions. I t has some women featured which is nice to know, beautiful graphic design and branding across the floors, great view from the windows and variety at the shop. I enjoyed my time and it was easy to go through it.

Wonderful museum but it’s shame that the shop offers barely anything that reflects the collections they have. I wish I could have brought home something small that reflects Danish art, not a generic postcard I can find anywhere.

Place has an interesting collection of paintings, but your enjoyment really hinges on the temporary exhibitions. In our experience, it was modern "art"—which, to be honest, I don’t think is art at all. The permanent collection is small but provides good insight and is nicely displayed. The building is easy to get around, and you won’t spend too much time looking at everything. It’s worth checking out if you’re in the area, but not essential unless the temporary exhibit matches your interests.

I enjoyed the exhibition featuring Belgium art & its political history. Main galleries had a good quality mix of historical, local and newer art. Enjoyable. Has a cafe.

This museum has an amazing variety of old and modern art. The entrance is expensive for over 10€ for students, but it's worth the art you'll see. From interactive over movies to traditional paintings there's a bunch to see on multiple floors. Even for kids they created various experiences! ☺️ The museum's shop has some cool gadgets as well and connected is a great concept of a coffee place which includes arts as well.

Really lovely place and well decorated. Loved the info boards and the cute decorations and themes everytime you went somewhere. You can tell the place/people working there really cares about their Animals and their environment ❤️

A very nice zoo, where they take good care of their animals. Informative signs with a lot of fun facts. The biomes for the rainforest species and penguins are amazing, but bring a cardigan if you want to stay for feeding time in the latter, it's quite chilly (as it should be)!

Super nice zoo, the animals are well taken care of and they have a good time here. The park is nice to walk through, sometimes it is a little impossible to follow the main trail via the map. But that just makes the adventure more interesting. I am totally in love with the king penguins, they are so big! For me I feel that the enclosures could be a little bigger but I am not an expert after too course.

Really cozy place, animals are in a really good condition and have clean enclosures. I would recommend to buy a ticket online, so you don’t have to stand in the queue for tickets :)

Such an incredible zoo! There were so many animals to see and it was clear that they were really well looked after. One of the true highlights of Odense.

Beautiful zoo, the main route to follow is clear, plenty of food/drink stalls, and you had the possibility to walk in (or around) some animal area's to really get close to the animals.

Very nice zoo, especially during feeding time it’s really worth visiting 😮

From there, we stopped by Odense Cathedral and headed to Munke Mose Park where we chilled by the river, watching people do paddleboating and picnics. There was even a couple doing a small BBQ on the grass patch – though we’re not sure how safe that was 🤔 For the full details of our 5 months Round The World RTW travels, visit 2bearbear today!

Good place to walk and chill in downtown

Quite a big open place for all age groups. Play area for kids. Recommended for morning walk/jogging. All day all time open. Make sure not to leave thrash if partying use the bin around.

God

Love it, chill place, good for hanging out👌🏻

Nice

Ok

A very nice boutique restaurant in Odense, the inside has a rustic feel and warm atmosphere. The staff were lovely and took the time to help with any translations and suggestions, also very accommodating to vegetarian requirements. The food was too tier - we had a lot of duck on our trip but this was the best duck dish in my opinion, the small things like the bread was also amazing would thoroughly recommend the focaccia!

Amazing ambience, fantastic food. We followed the chef’s menu. The best soup and wild duck i had ever had. So amazed.

Fantastic place, superb food, and service second to none. This is a place for those looking to experience something out of the ordinary. Hope to be back someday

We celebrated our wedding here in the Bomhuset and it could not have been more perfect! Attention had been paid to every detail and we cannot commend the staff highly enough for looking after us so well. The food was exceptional, the setting stunning and everyone in our party had a wonderful afternoon celebrating. We will be coming back for our anniversary!

I recently dined at this restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The beef was exceptional - the meat was of great quality and the ingredients were clearly very fresh. Additionally, the staff member who sliced the bread was very handsome and patiently introduced me to different types of Danish bread. The only minor flaw was that my dining companion and I accidentally ordered raw meat, which resulted in some discomfort due to eating it cold. In addition, raw meat is odourless due to its high quality. However, this was our own mistake and not a reflection of the restaurant's quality. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. The architecture style is also very beautiful and adds to the overall dining experience.

Nice ambiance, but the setting of the menu in my opinion, it’s not really reasonable. Especially at the end came twice with the sorbets, i mean you can arrive at the same time but no need to separate. Maybe the chef was trying to show the creativity that sorbets in different ways. The cod fish soup with purée, it’s quite strange for me also. Honestly, for me the note is 7/10. I did love the service, the exchange with the Copenhagen boy was interesting. The team is with the young people, they put their hearts on it.

5-star no doubt! It is located at the edge of the Den Fynske Landsby (Funen village). It has both Restaurant(formal dinning) and Cafe (casual). My family chose the Cafe after visiting the Fynske. The food was so taste and prepared in fresh. The cafe actually locates in the village with open lawn and white table sets. Gorgeous atmosphere. Such a great lunch. Definitely recommend to my friends.

It wasn’t the chief’s executive experience I was expecting. The dining was basically, a surprise experience as you don’t know what you are going to eat. The flavours were pretty exquisite and worth a one time try. The served food was explained briefly by the chief/waiter (this was unclear). The protein part of the dinner was quite redundant. We ordered 2 menys and was expecting unique dishes from each meny, but that wasn’t the case. There was tuna, shrimp, octopus in the 6+7 course meny we ordered. Definitely say it’s not worth the money I paid (1000 DKK). I would suggest adding a penny more (2k DKK) and going a much personalised dining. In conclusion, this place is worth a ONE TIME try only for the exclusive flavours you get to taste. The ambience was a low light mood and was ok. The only reason we went here was to experience the “personalised dining” but this lacked the most here. Don’t think you can take any pictures here 😅

Amazing restaurant with innovative japanese cuisine. One of those places where you enjoy every single bite. Great combination of textures and flavours. The menus allow you to try a variety of many small dishes.Simply loved it! Wonderful staff and quick service.

Ok, if I share how amazing this experience was, that I even shed a few tears during the desert, you are just going to be disappointed even though you might get the same dishes. So it's not you, it's me. But that said, if you are in Odense, this is the place to dine. Go in without reading more reviews and lower your expectations, and maybe you'll cry too 😉

Goma left me absolutely mesmerized!! The perfect blend of zen aesthetics/ambiance, insightfully stellar service and the most unforgettably sensational meal bordering on the provocative! Such a masterful and sometimes pioneering use of ingredients by the brilliant chef and staff!! I wish I could recite word for word the descriptions provided by our erudite server, who had us hanging on every syllable! 🤙🤙 #BRAVO #HighlyRecommended #WeShallReturn

Always an amazing and innovative take on Japanese Nordic fusion with enthusiastic service and excellent wine pairings. Also love the upstairs cocktail bar.

Chef Hansen is an artist. This was an incredible meal. This restaurant is Michelin quality

Ambiance: Nice, clean, open kitchen, pretty loud and not as cozy as it could be. Food: Fantastic and super tasty small portions. Their menus include quite a lot of food so only order them if you are really hungry. Service: Really good and attentive service with excellent knowledge about food. Price: Reasonable but not cheap

The tasting menu was extremely tasty and paired wonderfully with the wine selection, which included rare gems such as Hungarian white wine and Austrian late harvest Merlot. The food was outstanding! The braised lamb melted in your mouth and was expertly prepared. A memorable meal indeed!

I really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service at this wonderful restaurant. The crispy pulled pork appetizer with foie gras and an egg on top, dipped in red wine reduction, was a meal in itself. The steak was also really good. The wine selection and pairing options are excellent. Altogether, I paid around 100€ (I insisted on tipping, as it isn’t customary in Denmark) - absolutely worth it for the quality and experience. Highly recommended.

I reaĺly like the food and the service. The waiter is veey well educated in the food and wine he is serving and explains it in detail. It is a culinary and cultural experience.

The tasting menu was very delicious and the wine pairing fit each dish perfectly. I found the starters and the Champagner to be a good opener for the evening. The service was on point. I had a wonderful dining experience at Kok & Vin and can recommend the restaurant to anyone who enjoys fine dining.

The service was really excellent, I was alone and enjoyed a great meal thanks to the helpful and friendly waiter I got. I was not very hungry so ordered two starters, otherwise I think their 3-course menu for 300dkk is excellent value for money. The highlight was the homemade sorbet however, so smooth you cannot taste any ice crystals and not too sweet, the chocolate one is divine.

Very good dinner with wine matching

Everything great! The food was great quality and taste real european with all balanced flavors. Nice job!

Great place. Chef even entertained and made me a vegetarian menu when requested.

We had such a fantastic evening in the Pasfall Restaurant. The waiters were really attentive. As I am pregnant at the moment, they made sure that I the dishes were suitable for me and were highlighting that so that I didn't even have to ask. We chose the fish menu and even though we are not the biggest fish eaters, the menu was a 10/10. It had some surprising elements which we didn't expect so that we experienced very differents tastes and textures which all harmonized perfectly.

Really great place, amazing food, a good atmosphere 👌

A visit at Pasfall is recommended. Service is very nice and hospitable. Food was arranged beautifully and tasted great. Some of the dishes we had, from the 360 degrees menu, were a bit on the fat and salty side, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. This will not be my last visit @ Pasfall!

Currently most likely the best restaurant in Odense. NOMA inspired dishes expertly prepared and presented by highly skilled staff that also knows its way around the extensive wine menu. I would recommend their set of courses supplemented with their wine menu.

Very nice food though I thought the menu was less interesting this time than last we visited. The "extra" appetizers were really good. They are impressively accommodating and good at handling dietary restrictions.

The food was fantastic! And surprisingly, they were able to accommodate the vegetarian in perfect style (a rarity in Denmark, and it seems Odense is no exception)

I have visited Aro a number of times - and every time a new and good experience. We travel a lot - also for food experiences. Aro is value for money. The photos are from 24/5-25. Highly recommended.

Interesting location. Amazing food and wonderful service. We picked different courses from the menu and hat great Danish wine. The service was very attentive and yet discreet. The good flavorful without being to much.

Really delicious food, great service, hearty atmosphere, with down-to-earth staff, a wide range of wine, and interesting takes on the dishes. Wholeheartedly recommend it to food and wine connoisseurs. I had all seven courses and the sizes of each as well as the timing at which each dish were served was perfect. Well done!

Excellent food, vine and service. The restaurant is small and located in an old garage. The decor is beautiful with a view to the kitchen. Really good experience, you have to try.

Possibly the best restaurant in town. Fabulous food that's both really tasty and quite inventive. Pretty much every course seems to have a little detail that you wouldn't think should work, but it turns out it lifts the dish to another level. Service was exquisite and the wine menu really good with a couple of surprising choices.

We have eaten a lot of different places and this is the second time we visit ARO and is BY FAR the best dinner we have had ever. Go go go

Excellent food, gourmet style with 3 snacks before the actual dishes, very reasonably priced both wrt. the food and wine by the glass. Even though we live in Odense and fairly frequently eat at the best restaurants, it took us a couple of years to spot this restaurant which is located in an old industrial area some distance from the center. I realize there are many servings, but it would be nice if they could speed it up some. I get tired of sitting on the same hard chair for 3 hours and 45 minutes.
