Odense Maps and Orientation

(Odense, Region Syddanmark, Denmark)



With around 180,000 people currently calling Odense their home, this city has become Denmark's third-largest city. Based on Funen Island, where it has become the proud capital, the city has grown up close to the Odense River, where boat trips often take place.

Odense is today linked to the neighbouring island of Zealand by the magnificent Great Belt Fixed Link Bridge, a famous Danish suspension bridge which has made the city extremely easy to reach and stretches for around 1.6 km / 1 mile. This bridge carries both cars and trains, and means that the Danish capital of Copenhagen can now be reached in just over one hour by rail.


Maps and Orientation of the City

The tourist office (Odense Turistbureau) is situated within the Radhuset (Town Hall) and is a good place to pick up maps of the city. Maps are also available from bookshops along the Kongensgade and on the Vestergade.

The Odense tourist office is just a short walk from many of the main attractions, such as the cathedral (Sankt Knuds Kirke) on the Klosterbakken and the railway station (Odense Banegard), which lies directly north and contains a complex of shops and cafes.
