Arrival, Accommodation and Information
Long-distance buses and trains both terminate at the train station , a ten-minute walk from the city centre, where you'll find the tourist office (mid-June to Aug Mon-Sat 9am-7pm, Sun 10am-5pm; rest of year Mon-Fri 9.30am-4.30pm, Sat 10am-1pm; www.odenseturist.dk ) on the Vestergade side of the Radhus - follow the signs. They sell the useful Adventure Pass (one day 85kr, two days 125kr), which gets you discounts on entrance to all of Odense's museums and gives unlimited travel on local buses. The only cheap options among Odense's hotels are Det Lille Hotel , Dronningensgade 5 (tel 66.12.28.21; GBP15-20/$24-32/?27-36), and Ydes , Hans Tausens Gade 11 (tel 66.12.11.31, www.ydes.dk ; GBP15-20/$24-32/?27-36).
