​

Day Plan

Transport 

We’ll meet in either Ikast Station or Aarhus Hovedbanegaard and travel together by bus.

A visit to H. C. Andersen’s House 

Nowhere else in the world can you get this close to H.C. Andersen. You will see original objects, paper cuttings, and drawings by Denmark’s world-famous author.

A visit to H.C. Andersen’s Childhood Home

Step into the three small rooms that were home to H.C. Andersen and his parents from the time he was two years old until he left for Copenhagen at the age of 14.

Lunch & selfie-moments at Eventyrparken

Located just behind Odense Cathedral, we’ll grab a sandwich, and you’ll have a great selfie moment in front of the H.C. Andersen statue.

Own Time

Odense has a cozy pedestrian area where you can go shopping and explore the city. There is also the option to go hunting for H.C. Andersen wall paintings and sculptures – we’ll provide maps!
