Odense Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Odense airport is in Beldringe, about 12 km north-west of the city, with no direct bus link: taxi or rental car are the only practical options for getting into the centre. Visitors to Hans Christian Andersen's city will find the historic centre more convenient, compact and walkable; those with commitments at the congress centre or the zoo will instead find dedicated hotels a little further from the old core.

Historic centre

City centre · About 12 km from the airport, 15-25 minutes by taxi; there are no direct buses from the airport, so a taxi or car is always needed.

Best for: Travellers who want Odense's historic centre, Hans Christian Andersen's birth house and the pedestrian streets a short walk away.

Pros

Hans Christian Andersen's birth house and the pedestrian centre within walking distance
The city's public library and art galleries a few blocks away

Cons

No direct public link with the airport, a taxi or car is always needed
Fewer rooms available than the chain hotels outside the historic centre

Recommended hotels in this area

Central Odense Hideaway – Courtyard Apartment: Apartment overlooking an inner courtyard about 1 km from the centre, close to the public library and the Funen Art Museum; a good base on foot for the historic centre.

Exhibition area and zoo

Neighbourhood · The same distance from the airport as the city centre, about 15-20 minutes by taxi; from the historic centre it's a few minutes by car or taxi.

Best for: Travellers with commitments at the congress centre or Odense Zoo who don't need the historic centre.

Pros

A few minutes' walk from the congress centre and Odense Zoo
Free parking and larger rooms than the apartments in the historic centre

Cons

The historic centre and Andersen's house are several kilometres away, a taxi is needed for the evening
An area designed for events and trade fairs, with no neighbourhood life of its own
