Experience in Odense, Denmark by Katalin

What is it like to live in Odense? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

I would definitely recommend living in Odense. You can always find people who share the same interest as you. It is very difficult to be bored in Odense as there are so many cultural programs. Like Kulturnat, OFF and Harry Potter Festival just to mention to some examples. The city itself is a true mediavel village where you can take a walk in the 17-18th century. It is beautiful and calm.
