Known as "the Garden of Denmark", partly for the lawn-like neatness of its fields, partly for the immense amounts of fruit and vegetables which come from them, Funen is the smaller of the two main Danish islands. The pastoral outlook of the place and the coastline draw many visitors, but its attractions are mainly low-profile cultural sights, such as the various collections of the "Funen painters" and the birthplaces of writer Hans Christian Andersen and composer Carl Nielsen. Odense , Denmark's third city, is easily the island's main urban attraction. Close to this, the former fishing town of Kerteminde retains some faded charm, and is near the Ladby Boat, an important Viking relic.
