GenbrugsHallerne Odense
A vast indoor thrift hall in Odense where hundreds of private stalls turn second-hand shopping into an urban treasure hunt of everyday finds and quirky curios.
GenbrugsHallerne in Odense is a large indoor thrift hall and flea “supermarket”, where hundreds of individual sellers share shelves and stalls under one roof. Spread across roughly 1,200 m², it is a treasure trove of second-hand clothing, furniture, curios, collectibles and everyday household items.

Local tips
- Allow at least 1.5–2 hours; with more than 200 stalls and shelves, the hall is larger than it first appears and browsing takes time.
- Bring your own reusable shopping bags and, if you plan bigger purchases, consider a foldable trolley to make carrying items easier.
- Have a rough shopping list—clothes, books, homeware—so you can focus your search and avoid becoming overwhelmed by choice.
- Check opening hours in advance; the hall generally operates from late morning to late afternoon with similar times every day.
- If you prefer more space in the aisles, aim for late morning on weekdays rather than mid-afternoon or weekend periods.

A cavern of second-hand treasures in Odense
GenbrugsHallerne is one of Odense’s largest indoor reuse markets, a sprawling hall where pre-loved objects fill shelves, racks and tables as far as you can see. The concept is a mix between a traditional flea market and a self-service consignment shop: private sellers rent shelving or stall space, fill it with their belongings, and the hall’s staff handle the sales on their behalf. The result is a constantly changing assortment that makes each visit feel like a fresh hunt. The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious. Concrete floors, simple shelving and industrial lighting give the place a slightly rustic, warehouse-like character that suits its practical purpose: to keep things in circulation rather than see them discarded. You wander between aisles of goods rather than curated displays, and the fun lies in never knowing what you’ll spot on the next shelf.What you will find on the shelves
The mix of items is broad, reflecting the many different households that contribute to the market. One aisle might be packed with everyday clothing, shoes and accessories, while another holds kitchenware, glass, porcelain and retro coffee sets. Elsewhere you can sift through stacks of books, vinyl records, board games, toys and puzzles, or browse lamps, small furniture and decorative pieces for the home. Because individual sellers set their own selection, you can encounter everything from budget basics to quirky collectibles and vintage design. It is the kind of place where a practical saucepan sits next to an old camera, where a box of Lego might be opposite a stack of 1970s magazines. For visitors who enjoy slow browsing and the thrill of discovery, it is easy to lose track of time.Browsing, taking breaks and the pace of a visit
GenbrugsHallerne’s generous floor space invites an unhurried rhythm. You are not rushed through; instead, you move at your own pace, backtrack to a shelf, or compare a few options before deciding. With more than 200 stalls and shelf units in operation at any given time, the volume of items rewards a methodical approach if you are hunting for something specific, but it is equally suited to aimless wandering. A small café-style corner typically offers simple refreshments and a chance to rest. After an hour or two of standing, bending and lifting, a seat and a drink can be very welcome. This pause becomes part of the experience: looking over your basket of finds, deciding what to keep, and planning a second round through the sections you have not yet explored.Sustainability and circular culture in practice
Beyond the fun of bargain hunting, GenbrugsHallerne is also a quiet statement about reuse. By giving unwanted belongings a second life, the hall helps extend product lifespans and reduce waste. In a city with many students and young families, this model makes it easier to furnish a home or dress a child without buying everything new. The scale of the operation makes the idea of circular consumption very tangible. Rows of shelves show how much material is still useful once it changes hands, from everyday household items to occasional vintage or designer pieces. Spending time here can be a gentle reminder that many needs can be met through second-hand choices.Who will enjoy a visit
GenbrugsHallerne suits visitors who like to browse, compare and discover. It is a good stop if you are exploring Odense’s more local side and want to see where residents offload and acquire their things. Families can look for toys or sports gear, students might search for affordable kitchenware and furniture, while collectors scan for older ceramics or decorative objects. Because it is fully indoors, the hall is comfortable in any season and offers a weather-proof activity on grey or rainy days. Whether you leave with a single book or a car boot full of finds, the experience is less about ticking off sights and more about stepping into Odense’s everyday reuse culture.Practical considerations for your visit
Entry to GenbrugsHallerne is free, and opening hours are typically the same every day of the week, from late morning to late afternoon. The location on Rødegårdsvej places it in a mixed residential and commercial part of Odense, with straightforward access from other parts of the city. Indoors, aisles are generally level and wide enough for prams or trolleys, though they can feel busy at peak times. Plan at least one to two hours if you want to see most sections without rushing. Bringing a reusable bag or two is helpful, and if you have a particular category in mind—such as clothing, books or homeware—it can be useful to focus on one area at a time. Even if you do not buy anything, wandering through the hall gives a vivid snapshot of Danish everyday life, item by item.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
