Eating in Odense
Odense Connections
The sleepy isle of Ærø is the cuddle after the climax. It's the perfect time-
passed world in which to wind down, enjoy the seagulls, and take a day off.
Wander the unadulterated cobbled lanes of Denmark's best-preserved 18th-
century town. Get Ærø-dynamic and pedal a rented bike into the essence of
Denmark. Settle into a world of sailors, who, after the invention of steam-
driven boat propellers, decided that building ships in bottles was more their
style.
Between Ærø and Copenhagen, drop by bustling Odense, home of Hans
Christian Andersen. Its Hans Christian Andersen House is excellent, and with
more time, you can also enjoy its other museums (art, town history, trains,
folk) and stroll the car-free streets of its downtown.
Planning Your Time
Allow four hours to get from Copenhagen to Ærø (not counting a possible
stopover in Odense). All trains stop in Roskilde (with its Viking Ship Mu-
seum—see previous chapter) and bustling Odense (see the end of this
chapter). On a quick trip, you can leave Copenhagen in the morning and
do justice to both towns en route to Ærø. (With just one day, Odense and
Roskilde together make a long but doable day trip from Copenhagen.)
