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.
