Once upon a time in Odense – Less than two hours from Copenhagen by train, you’ll arrive on the island of Funen and its capital, Odense, which inspired the fairytale world of profilic 19th century Danish author Hans Christian Andersen – born in Odense and known for his timeless sagas such as The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling, and The Emperor’s New Clothes. Today, Odense is Denmark’s third largest city with a slew of local activities, festivals, and parades that pay tribute to the author.
I just got back from this charming little city on assignment and will share the article once it’s published. In the meantime, you can check out the photo gallery.
Lovely pictures thank you Lola.
Thanks Monica!
I haven’t been on that part of Denmark, and those beautiful pictures are encouraging enough for me to go visit.. someday soon!
You should, Sofia! It’s a really stunning and laid back place.
