Welcome to Funen
Funen is an idyllic island in the middle of Denmark and is between Jutland and Zealand. Funen is the perfect place to visit if you want to experience some of the most beautiful sights of Denmark, with its idyllic manor houses and cosy villages and fairytale castles framed in beautiful nature.
This fairytale island is the birthplace of the world-renown author Hans Christian Andersen. You can still today see the house, where he was born, and in the city, you also find an interesting museum about his life.The main city on the island, Odense, is a lively cultural and commercial centre. But there is much more to Funen. Thatched farmhouses, picture-book coastal towns and grand Renaissance castles dot the island’s patchwork of fields and woodlands. There's a remarkable Viking-era ship grave near Kerteminde. Rolling southern pastures and orchards grow some of the country's best produce. Curiously minimalist shelters are set up for cyclists and kayakers. And handsome harbour towns give access to a yacht-filled archipelago of idyllic seafaring islands. All in all, if you take the time to explore, you'll find Funen is a microcosm of the very best of Denmark.
Geographically, the island of Funen is in the center point of Denmark, connected to Zealand and Jutland by two bridges, the Little Belt Bridge and the Great Belt Bridge.
