Experience the fairytales at the museum H.C. Andersen House
Did you know that H.C. Andersen was born in Odense? This museum dedicated to Hans Christian Andersen uses state-of-the-art technologies that allow you to interact with the art for an amazing experience. And if you’re a lover of beautiful and different architecture, the museum is also worth a visit.
The museum is only a 15-minute walk away from the Codegarden venue.
Try the amazing food at Storms Pakhus
Super close to the Codegarden venue, you’ll find Storms Pakhus, the largest street food market in Odense, with loads of food stalls where you can get everything from pizza to tacos, waffles or something completely different. Super yummy! 🌮🍕
Go for a walk in Munke Mose
Munke Mose is a park on Odense River right in the middle of the city with beautiful nature and a small kiosk where you can buy a cup of coffee or ice cream to enjoy on your walk. 🍦
Visit Stige Ø
If you long for a walk on the hillside, then you can visit Stige Ø (here, Ø = island). If you’re bringing your bike to Codegarden, there’s a 3.5 km bike track that includes a dirt jump track where you can live out your stuntman dreams.
Sail down the river with Odense River Cruise
Odense River Cruise is based by the kiosk in Munke Mose and you can also buy your ticket here.
It has three stops: Munke Mose, Odense Zoo, and near Skovsøen. Since your ticket counts both ways, you can get off at every stop or use it as a round-trip ride. Just remember to get a separate ticket for the Zoo if you want to get off there.
