City in Denmark
Odense
3 things to see
Odense is Hans Christian Andersen’s birthplace and one of Denmark’s gentler budget cities, with a pedestrianized center that costs nothing to wander and free parks and green riverside paths to fill an afternoon. Prices run easier than Copenhagen, so it makes a sensible slow-down stop on a Danish trip. Denmark is expensive across the board, so self-catering and free outdoor time stretch the budget furthest here.
