Odder Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Excellent beaches, shopping and cosy atmosphere in the town centre, island trips to the Kattegat pearl of Tunø, or culture and gourmet food in nearby Aarhus.

Odder is a cosy shopping town perfectly situated between the wonderful Kattegat and cultural cities of Aarhus, Horsens and Skanderborg. The Odder coastline stretches an impressive 26 miles, which means a holiday will probably include one of the many nautical experiences available: relaxing beach days, water sports, fishing and exciting day trips to nearby islands. Lobster fishing, sea kayaking or a trip from Hou to Tunø on the Tunø ferry – the choice is yours.

A holiday to Odder isn't all about beach and sea. You can also learn about local cultural history at the Odder Museum, where there is a working water and steam mill that makes it an exciting visit for all the family. Finish with a coffee and freshly baked pretzel in the museum’s cosy café shop in the old water mill. Shopaholics will also love the many cosy courtyard shops the area has to offer.

If you are on a family holiday or weekend break in Odder, why not visit Denmark’s oldest mini golf course in Saksild? The course was created in 1947, and taking part in this classic family sport in charming and historical surroundings is quite an experience. The water slides in Spektrum Odder Swimming Pool are a must-see.

If a great holiday is synonymous with shopping and good food, you will enjoy the lively city centre with its shops, cosy cafés and eateries. If you are looking for something really special to eat, visit the SlowFood Restaurant, known for superb cuisine and atmospheric surroundings.

If you have come to Odder longing for South-Jutlandic ambiance, turquoise waters and chalk white beaches, then take the ferry from Hou to Tunø – the crossing only takes an hour. Here you can put on your swimsuit at Tunø Nordstrand, the Mallorca of Denmark. A real party atmosphere can be experienced at Tunø Festival and Tunø Havnefest.

You are never far from city life in Odder, as Aarhus is only 40 minutes away by train. In short, Odder has it all – enjoy your trip to the Odder coast.
