Odense
City Overview
Odense is Denmark’s third city and the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen — the cultural and educational center of Funen island. It has lately become a rising robotics and drone-industry hub (the University of Southern Denmark, the birthplace of Universal Robots), with abundant green space and bike lanes. Living and housing costs are low with a relaxed, livable pace, and it is very safe — a junction between Copenhagen and Jutland.
