Odense has a strong cultural identity, much of it inevitably linked to Hans Christian Andersen but extending well beyond his work.
The city has theatres, concert venues and a regular programme of live music. Odense Concert Hall is an important cultural venue and home to the Odense Symphony Orchestra.
The city also hosts festivals and events throughout the year. Among the best known is the annual Hans Christian Andersen Festivals, when performances, installations, music and other cultural activities take over parts of the city.
Visitors travelling during summer should check the local event calendar before arriving. Festivals and outdoor performances can add considerably to the experience of the city.
