About this school trip

Odense is the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen, which makes it a wonderful destination for a study trip about literature and storytelling. At H.C. Andersens Hus, designed by the Japanese practice Kengo Kuma and Associates and opened in 2021, your pupils dive into the writer's fairy-tale world. Much of the museum lies underground, surrounded by gardens inspired by Andersen's stories.

The historic old town fits in perfectly. Small, colourful houses and cobbled lanes make it easy to imagine Andersen growing up here. Upper primary and lower secondary pupils can make up their own stories, retell fairy tales or follow a trail through the old quarter. Reading and writing really come to life.

We are happy to take care of the transport to Odense for you and your pupils. It is quite a long drive, so we spread it over the day, with plenty of rest breaks along the way. In our comfortable coach, with an experienced driver, your group travels there and back safely, so you and your pupils start the programme feeling relaxed.
