H. C. Andersen’s House
Odense is the hometown of the well-known Danish author Hans Christian Andersen for which the city takes a special pride in. Multiple festivals and events dedicated to the memory of the author are organized throughout the year. Appreciation for his life and literary works are felt in many parts of the city through sculptures based on his fairy tales. You can even follow Christian Andersen’s “footsteps” a 2 ½ km walking route, that will reveal beautiful spots in the center of Odense. You can get more information about the sculptures and access the map of the route in this link, if you decide to find the sculptures on your own. But we are here, to take you on a different tour!
