Overview

Discover the new Odense.

Our 2-hour city tour delves into the complete transformation of the city and its current development.

Find out how Odense is currently transitioning from an old industrial city to a green city of the future.

You will see, among other things, the new harbor and much more.

In small groups, we offer unique insights beyond the usual tourist paths.

You will also get an insight into how the city of Odense is actively working to create affordable housing for young people.

Another topic we touch upon is how the labour market has made it possible for many old industrial jobs, such as those from the closed shipyard, to be transformed into new, future-oriented jobs - and mostly with the same employees.

You'll see Odense with new eyes and take home insider knowledge that you won't find in any tourist brochure.
