Discover more about Magasin Odense
A grand department store in Odense’s old town
Magasin Odense anchors one of the busiest stretches of Vestergade, right in the compact historic centre. Behind its city-fronting façade lies a traditional multi-level department store where almost everything is indoors and under one coordinated roof. Escalators and wide aisles pull you upwards through the building, so you move easily between floors without having to step back outside into the street. Because it sits directly on the main pedestrian artery, Magasin naturally blends into a day of wandering in central Odense. You can slip in from the shopping street for a quick browse or treat it as your base, dipping back out to nearby sights and then returning for a coffee, a cosmetic consultation or to pick up something for dinner.Fashion, beauty and home in one curated space
Magasin Odense is laid out in clear zones, each dedicated to a different part of daily life. Fashion takes a starring role, with womenswear and menswear ranges that run from smart office pieces and Nordic minimalism to casual weekend layers and accessories. Children’s clothing has its own area, making it simple to kit out younger travellers or pick up gifts. The expansive beauty department brings together skincare, makeup, fragrance and grooming counters. This is where you can explore both global brands and Scandinavian favourites, often with staff on hand to help you match foundations, discover new scents or craft a simple skincare routine that suits the local climate. Home and lifestyle sections round out the mix, showcasing tableware, textiles, decorative objects and practical kitchen items. It is an accessible place to discover Danish design language in everyday form – from clean-lined glassware to soft throws and candles that lend instant hygge to a hotel room or holiday rental.Services, pampering and personal attention
Beyond standard browsing, Magasin Odense leans into service. Personal shopping can be arranged in advance, pairing you with a stylist who helps you navigate fashion, lingerie, beauty or skincare across the store. The idea is not a rushed makeover but a considered session where fits, colours and combinations are discussed in a relaxed way. Beauty treatments and brand counters often offer mini-consultations or quick touch-ups, especially useful if you are preparing for a night out in Odense. The store is also a practical stop for essentials, from travel-size toiletries to last-minute accessories, handled with the same emphasis on attentive help.Cafés, sweet treats and shopping breaks
Several food and drink options are woven into the store, turning Magasin into more than just a place to tick off errands. You might pause at a juice bar for a sandwich and a freshly blended drink, or slide into a coffee corner where a simple cup and a slice of cake provide a classic Scandinavian pause. Chocolate lovers can seek out fine, often organic confections, packaged beautifully enough to serve as gifts or to enjoy back in your room. Because everything is inside the same building, it is easy to turn a quick stop for coffee into a longer interlude that alternates between browsing racks and resting with a snack.Atmosphere, seasons and when to visit
The atmosphere at Magasin Odense changes subtly with the calendar. On darker Scandinavian afternoons the store’s lighting and displays create a cosy indoor world that contrasts with the cool air outside, especially welcome in the colder months. Seasonal collections and decorative themes appear around major holidays, adding a sense of occasion even if you only intend to window-shop. Weekday mornings tend to feel calmer, with more space to move slowly between departments and engage in longer conversations at the beauty counters. Later afternoons and Saturdays are livelier, as locals fold errands, meet-ups and café visits into one combined stop, giving you a glimpse of everyday city life in Odense.Making the most of an indoor Odense hub
Magasin Odense works both as a destination in its own right and as a flexible indoor hub during a stay in the city. On wet or windy days, you can easily spend a few hours moving between fashion, beauty, home goods and food without ever stepping outside. On clear days it becomes a convenient anchor: pick up an extra layer for a bike ride, a gift to bring home, or simply a coffee before you continue exploring the cobbled streets. Because it combines many categories in one space, it is particularly useful for travellers with varied interests or limited time. Whether you are travelling solo, as a couple or with family, Magasin Odense offers a compact snapshot of contemporary Danish style and everyday comforts in the heart of the city.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
