How did Odense succeed in transforming from an old industrial city in financial crisis to a modern, green, and innovative city?

We delve into precisely this question during our 2-hour city tour.

PRICE: $31
per person

 

The goal is to offer you something different from the usual tourist city tours – I want to provide you with something new and informative for your vacation.

The focus of the tour is on urban development and the transformation from an industrial city to a city with the declared aim of being a green city with innovative creativity, where young people can also find affordable housing in the city center.

However, we also talk about the Danish education system, daily life in the city, infrastructure, the economy, and much more.

The tour begins in the old part of the city.

From there, we head towards the harbor, which in many ways symbolizes the modern transformation of Odense.

Along the way, we pass through, among other places, the former industrial area where a completely new district is developing these years.

Back to our starting point – so we take a round trip – we walk through a completed urban area that now lies where just a few years ago a six-lane main thoroughfare ran right through the city center.

The best part of the tour is especially the many insider pieces of information that you cannot find in any tourist brochure or elsewhere.

The city tour is for those who want to gain more knowledge.
