Search hotels on Funen, Denmark

nice old city centre but without any highlights (architecture, shops, etc) the Andersen museum is very informative in the middle of the island Funen, so most other locations on the island are in reach for a visit

The Funen Village was an excellent resource. We had a great day out here. The local transport is simple to use and there are plenty of supermarkets for stocking up on supplies.

Lots of historic sights and beautiful old streets. The Hans Christian Andersen museum and Funen village are very good. The Citypass is good value and provides transport and entrance to the various museums and Funen village.

It is not all about what you should see in Nyborg! Nyborg is a great place to start off. We have plenty of hotels. Downtown, at the beach, in the woods - next to the public indoor swimming pools (with playground and a dozen other facilities). Nyborg has been the capitol of Denmark in the 14-hundreds and you really should see Nyborg Slot (Slot = Castle) along with the defense lines along the moat. Odense is about 30 minutes away by car and 15 minutes by train - and is kind of a small version of Copenhagen. Svendborg is also a very nice place. Same style as Nyborg and great places to dine. Nyborg also casts one of the worlds longest suspension bridges. It is not free to cross - but you can watch it from the beach. Traffic to and from Sealand/Copenhagen pass the bridge - so if you arrive at Copenhagen Airport, you will cross it. Don't expect a lot of stuff going on during nighttime and late evenings in the weekends. When shops and attractions closes, so does the city. Expect a place to relax, a place for a good walk and a place for an ice cream at the harbor. To get around the island of Funen, I recommend a car. Public transport does exist (to some extent) but you can easily get stuck somewhere as there very well may be two hours between buses and your trip will take forever because they stop all the time. If you plan on staying in Nyborg I recommend a bike. Odense is easiest to access by train. Shopping in Odense inner city is easiest to acces by train, but keep Rosengaardcentret in mind, which is a quite large shopping centre where you really would like to go by car ;-) Enjoy :-)

Odense is H.C. Andersen's birthplace. Anyone who is into literature and fairy tales, will love the place. Do take a themed walk around the city (just follow the huge steps on the pavement from A to B). Another great place in Odense is the Funen Village (Den Fynske Landsby), an open-air museum with over 20 traditional Danish houses. You can enter most of them and see what it was like to live in the 18-19th centuries. Live cattle, ducks and hens are an additional bonus.

It is a nice town with a lot of history. A good base to explore Funen Unfortunately we were there on a Sunday and Monday. Museum and Hans Christian Anderson house closed on Mondays so didn't see it.

Quaint smalltown with lovely wiews over Lilla Bält and its bridges. Café Razz on the harbourfront is excellent. Middelfart is particularly well located as a base for exploring Funen and Jutland.

Nice little Danish Town with nice port, good restaurants, an impressive Castle next to it and access to the south Funen hiking trail.

Bogense is 1 hr and 15min drive from Billund airport and nearly 2hr from Roskilde in the other direction so fairly central. The town is pretty, and has some great history. The harbour is very nice, but a lot of the restaurants were shut during our visit, but they looked very nice. We did end up one night with an Familie Deal pizza and had opted for the 60cm and chips, it really is huge and we didn’t finish it. There are better beaches a short drive away, and the very best one we found was at Fredericia, the kids loved it. Flying Sands beach on Funen was nice enough but the facilities and whole area of Fredericia was outstanding. The bridge toll over the Great Belt is 240 kroner each way making a day trip possible but expensive, we had originally planned to go for two days but the cost changed out mind.

Visit the Taurus Steak House. Great restaurant. For a day trip I recommend Egeskov Castle (30 miles). Includes outdoor areas, a large car museum and the elaborate dollhouse (Titania' s Palace) with it's rich detail (an absolute work of art), The Funen Village in Odense is also worth a visit for anyone interested in a how life was a century or so ago, Plenty of farm animals for the childrens' viewing.
