Odense’s city centre is far and away Funen’s largest shopping area. No fewer than 3 kilometres of pedestrian street bring happy tourists and locals to everything from department stores to the best in specialist shops. Here is the place to see and buy the latest fashions and visit the galleries. If this abundance of shops is still not enough for you, Odense also boasts Denmark’s largest shopping centre. Here you’ll find more than 100 shops all under one roof just outside Odense’s city centre.

Fruit, vegetables and antiques For many visitors the be-all and end-all might not be a trail around trendy stores, but rather a chance to soak up some of the authentic atmosphere of the local markets. Odense has a rich market tradition, with the square in front of the Concert Hall building turned into a large fruit and vegetable market twice a week, and in the summer season, frequent antique markets in front of the City Hall.
