10:00 Meet with your guide and coach in the morning for an exciting tour to another Danish town located on the island Fyn. The 18 km long bridge across Storebælt (the Great Belt Bridge) links the eastern and western parts of Denmark together.

HC Andersen House

Hans Christian Andersen’s House – the house where our famous fairytale author was born – is probably the best-known museum in Denmark. The museum has recently been extended, and today houses a remarkable collection of rare and even unique publications of his works, private letters, paper cuttings, drawings and many of his personal possessions such as his pocket watch, clothes, the rope he always carried on his travels, and his suitcase.

The museum stands in the heart of the old part of the city, where the streets are narrow and cobbled, and where the hollyhocks bloom throughout the summer.

Lunch in Odense

After the museum continue with a walking tour “In the footsteps of Hans Christian Andersen”. The tour then passes Møntergården, Odense’s museum of town history, before heading down towards Påskestræde – the site of the charity school where Hans Christian Andersen was a pupil. From there, the route follows Odense Å river, passing one of the town washing places where women went to wash clothes in Hans Christian Andersen’s time.

Past the Town Hall, the oldest parts of which date from 1881–83 (while the newer wing is from 1955), and on to the delightful St. Knud’s Church – one of the finest examples of elegant high Gothic architecture in Denmark. After the visit to the church, the trip ends with a short walk along Munkemøllestræde, where Hans Christian Andersen’s Childhood Home stands.

Approx 16:00 leave Odense, for 2 hrs drive back to Copenhagen.
