Odense is a place of fairy tales, literally. The city takes pride in being the birthplace of author Hans Christian Andersen, setting up a museum and preserving his home to immortalize his works. Odense even has its own castle to complete its fairytale-like image, although Egeskov Castle was constructed for practicality (established in 1554 for defensive purposes), and not to fulfil fantasies. The city is also home to the Odense Zoo, widely considered as one of the best in Europe thanks to its large collection of animals. These are only some of the attractions you can see when you visit the area. Make sure to take the time to see which accommodation will best suit your needs. Below are Airbnb vacation rentals you can choose from, to make your Odense as fairytale-perfect as it can be.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on February 01, 2024.
