Introduction
Right beside Odense's railway station, the Danish Railway Museum ranks among Scandinavia's largest. Vast engine halls hold steam and electric locomotives and vintage carriages from the mid-19th century onwards — including the Danish royal family's own train — while model trains thread the indoor tracks. Children can climb into cabs and pull signal levers while adults trace 180 years of Danish railway technology; it is Odense's most dependable family half-day.
