Dwelling in this period, indulge the history and fine dining at the Fangel Kro  - an inn built in 1855 with a modern reputation for serving delicious gourmet Danish fare. Approach the end of the 19th century at First Hotel Grand, allegedly the city’s most illustrious hotel since 1897. Recently completely remodelled with a new french brasserie and luxurious salon bar, the hotel cleverly brings a modern flair to the romance of the old.
Combining a peacefully rural setting with all the modern comforts, relax in the 4 star Best Western Hotel Knudsens Gaard or take a bed in the Danhostel Odense, a former manor house with a large enclosed courtyard garden in its own park.
With Funen Island known as Denmark's ‘Garden Isle’, it has numerous heavenly spots for camping with Odense no exception. Take refuge on the southern outskirts close to Funen Vilage and Fruens Bøge recreation area at Odense Camping or discover the tranquil lakeside beauty of Blommenslyst Camping.
In addition to the wide and varying selection of individual options, visitors to Odense can also opt to take sanctuary in a traditional inn; make friends with the locals in a homestay, bed & breakfast or farm stay and more remarkably camp for free (or at mere cost of DKK 20) at one of the many ‘Nature Camps’ on Funen - a popular choice with the cycling and walking fraternity - that offer shelter with limited facilities and no vehicles!
With prices per night starting from as little as DKK485 (approx. £60) for a double hotel room, DKK259 (approx. £33) for a hostel, DKK250 (approx. £30) for a cabin and DKK66/adult and DKK33/child (approx. £8/£4) for a campsite, there are plenty of good reasons to ‘sleep easy’ in Odense these days...
