Funen

Funen (Danish: Fyn) is Denmark's second largest island, between the Jutland peninsula, and the capital island of Zealand.

The capital of the island is Odense, birthplace of famous author H.C. Andersen. Funen is a picturesque area with sandy beaches and lush vegetation, traditionally known as the agricultural heartland of Denmark. As a term of endearment, Funen is known as Danmarks grønne ø ("Denmark's green island"). Funen is a convenient destination for Muslim travellers from mainland Europe, as both a major European highway as well as all transnational trains in Denmark cross the island and its capital.

Stay Safe

In general Funen and Odense are very safe, and no violent crimes are commonly committed against tourists or local residents. In general, although Denmark is comparatively lax on drugs, do not attempt to purchase any drugs, as this will often involve interaction with biker gangs or immigrant gangs, which in recent years have engaged in a covert vendetta against each other, although these fights have rarely been public, and have never victimized innocent bystanders. Police is visible in all cities, and Odense, Middelfart and Svendborg have hospitals, of which Odense and Svendborg hospitals have acute wards. Police, fire services and ambulances can be contacted by phoning 112, and non-acute calls to the police should be placed on 114. English is spoken by emergency central operators.
