Moving to Odense

Odense used to be the second largest city in Denmark, but it was recently exceeded in terms of population by Aarhus. On their first visit, many people go to the Cathedral of St. Canute, named after the Danish king Canute the Saint, and fall in love with Danish architecture and the simple way of life. "Brandts Klædefabrik", the art and cultural center of Odense, has a hand in keeping people around, showing off Odense's many exciting cultural diversities.
