The Danish Railway Museum in Odense was probably one of the most informative and fun railway/train museum that we’ve been to… The museum is shaped like a semi-arch and spans 2 levels along with some outdoor areas.

A beautiful museum. There's a lot to see and even a chance to board the trains. There's a wonderful puzzle at the end, which rounds off the visit nicely. Definitely plan a visit.

We arrived around midday and ran out of time when the museum closed at 16:00 o clock. I wou...

You can learn a lot about the history of the Danish railway, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. In short: The be...
