Hi everyone! I am new to this forum and hope to get some information about finding temp housing in Odense..My hubby and I are looking for either a private room (furnished) or small apartment to rent up to 6 months,starting in beginning of June'09. We would consider anything reasonable and would appreciate any information or direction to local site,etc; (for now we speak only English..but keen to learn Danish in future). Many thanks:)
2nd question: Is renting (and lifestyle in general) cheaper in Aarhus then Odense? Which one do you like better (just curious)? All opinions are welcome!
By the way it is a great forum!
You don't give your nationality / citizenship on your Home Page so it's difficult to give advice. Denmark is a signatory to the Schengen Treaty so you need a visa to stay more than 90 days (3 months) if you are not from a Schengen country. You can check the countries and requirements at http://www.immihelp.com/visas/schengenvisa/
If you are American, the easy rule is 90 days in a Schengen country followed by 90 days outside a Schengen country. You can repeat this process to cover a full year.
Beausoleil,thanks for your reply..well, we happen to live not far from Sacramento (at the moment).We are all set with papers, since have dual citizenship and yes, EU passport holders,as well. My questions WAS: where and how can we find a reasonable accommodations in Odense or possibly in Aarhus? Thanks, any way.
there is no big price difference between aarhus and odense.
both towns are fairly nice and close to some nice countryside.
I have put this as a general tip as the centre by the railway station contains much that can make your stay in Odense easier. Firstly, it is the place of arrival if you come by train. Then you can also find the official Danhostel here, as well as several shops and cafés for train travellers. There is also a public library. A great place for a budget base and it doesn't seem that seedy at night even if a station is always a station.
Don't be alarmed if you see a giraffe's neck in the city centre. It has not escaped from the zoo, but is the very tall chimney of local Albani breweries. These days owned by Royal Unibrew, Denmark's second largest brewery (I bet you can guess the first...) I had the pleasure of visiting it on a study tour as you can see in the other photos :) Not my favourite beer by any means (I've lived in Belgium and have family in Germany...) it is pleasant enough and is what you will be served in most Odense bars.
Probably good to dress in layers because Danish homes are always warm but it can be nippy outside in early spring. People are quite laid back in dress code. Everything available in Odense shops. Everything available in Odense shops. Everything available in Odense shops.
Tranakaer Slot / Tranekaer Palace is a lovely palace on the island Langeland, in a distance of about 45 km from Odense. That palace dates back to the year 1200 and some of the walls are 3 meters thick. You may not enter the palace itself, but take a walk around it in a park see an interesting museum closeby. There is also a restaurant with an interesting interior, because that restaurant was built inside of the old horse-stables.
Outside of the village of Tranekaer you may also see a nice windmill, still fully functional and open for tourists.
Unfortunately I cannot find my new pics of Tranekaer and may show you just this old one of 1964, it is scanned from a Super-8-film my father had made.
Although its lost some of its connections as a consequence of the new bus terminal at the OBC, Flakhaven still has four bus-routes passing though, and it is the closest busstop to both the city hall and the cathedral of Saint Canute. Furthermore the south and westbound busses stop right outside the doors of Magasin one of Odenses biggest Department Stores.
