Hans Christian Andersen Experience
Copenhagen
Copenhagen
The life of an author
There are memorials all over Copenhagen to Hans Christian Andersen, from H.C. Andersens Boulevard with the larger than life bronze statue of the author himself, to the famous statue of the Little Mermaid on the shore of the city. When you visit the Hans Christian Andersen Experience in Copenhagen, you can step into his footsteps.
Follow the Danish author from Odense to his move to Copenhagen at the age of 14 and on his many journeys across Denmark and Europe, which all inspired his incredible stories. Stroll the streets of nineteenth-century Denmark as he knew them and see how Hans Christian Andersen rose to international fame. You can even take a peek into his study, perhaps you’ll recognise the story on his desk.
Fairy tales come to life
Generations of kids around the world have grown up with Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales. At the Hans Christian Andersen Experience in Copenhagen, these fairy tales come to life with the help of light, sound and scent!
Explore the Little Mermaid’s world under the sea and go on a journey of self-discovery with the Ugly Duckling. Travel across the world with Thumbelina as she flees from a forced marriage and try to see the Emperor’s New Clothes.

Beautiful exhibit.
Beautiful museum installation/ exhibit that tells you all about Hans Christian Andersen's life. You get to listen and walk around while learning all about his life. I like that his original house is attached to the museum as well.

Fun for all the family!
We probably wouldn’t have visited if it wasn’t raining but we’re glad that we did. We guess it’s aimed more at children but it’s great to learn a bit more about Anderson and see his stories bought to life, the little mermaid story wasn’t working when we visited which was a shame, but every other section worked fine, watch out for the giant sewer rat!

Seguendo le orme di Andersen…
Contrariamente a molte altre recensioni, a me questo piccolo museo-percorso è piaciuto tanto!!! Si inizia entrando nella casa di Andersen e seguendo la sua infanzia con il padre calzolaio, fino alle varie stanze, ognuna con una fiaba diversa. Il bello di queste ultime è che sono interattive! Selezionando i pulsanti in inglese, danese o tedesco, si attiveranno le animazioni o gli animatronics che raccontano le storie. Sono presenti anche diverse cartelle in tutte le lingue, in modo da poter facilmente leggere le varie fiabe. Il museo si trova all’interno del museo delle stranezze “Ripley’s Believe it or not” e costa l’equivalente di 12€. Se acquistate, come noi, la combo di entrambi, il prezzo è l’equivalente di 28€ per gli adulti. Consiglio assolutamente!!!

VUELTA A LA INFANCIA
Parque de Atracciones muy bien situado en el centro de la ciudad y al lado de la estación Central. Espectacular en la época navideña ya que está decorado con nieve , mercadillos y decoración navideña. Está abierto entre diario hasta las 11 de la noche. En Navidad hacen espectáculos y juegos de luces en el lago. Lugar para no olvidar.

Spændende besøg hos Hr. Andersen
På besøg i eventyr huset med familien i efterårs ferien, og fandt oplevelsen mere spændende end vi havde forventet - fin gennemgang af barndom og opvækst, masser af quiz spørgsmål og fine fortællinger og gengivelser af Hans bedste historier. Kan anbefales.

Uno de los pocos museos en los que puedes leer cuentos en español
Aunque es pequeño, interactúa con el visitante, por ejemplo, lanzando preguntas sobre los viajes de Andersen, destapando una tapas de cajas. Tienes textos de cuentos en español y otros idiomas como francés, chino, inglés y alemán. Puedes escuchar los cuentos en inglés o alemán. Quizá lo que eché en falta fue regalos o souvenir más atractivos que el propio personaje de Andersen. Cuentos en varios idiomas, grabaciones,

Accurato e carino
Carino da vedere e adatto per passare una mezzoretta piacevole. È abbastanza particolareggiato nelle descrizioni della storia e delle favole scritte da Andersen, presenta anche qualche curiosa animazione, tra cui quella della sirenetta e della piccola fiammiferaia. La visita va effettuata dopo al vicino museo Ripley (all`ingresso vi forniranno un gettone per accedere al museo Andersen).

Einfach märchenhaft schön
Das Museum von H.C. Andersen sollte man sich auf jeden Fall anschauen! Nicht nur für Kinder,sondern auch für Erwachsene sehr schön gemacht. Es wird das Leben von Herrn Andersen beschrieben und seine schönsten und bekanntesten Märchen werden mit Puppen und Bühnenbilder ganz toll dargestellt,sogar in deutscher Sprache!ich war danach ganz hingerissen 😊

Zeker een bezoek waard - pittige entree prijzen
Leuk , spannend , uniek , terug in de tijd , Andersen hoort erbij , mis je verder ook niets aan. Entree prijs te hoog.

sehr nettes Museum
Also wir waren trotz der schlechten Bewertungen hier. Also nettes Museum und absolut okay wenn man keine hohen Erwartungen hat. Viel Geschichte von H.C. Andersen, über Leben und Märchen. Ich fand es sehr interessant. Kurzer Abstecher lohnt sich, Eintritt inklusive in Copenhagen Card

Riscaldato dai raggi solari!
La statua di Hans Christian Andersen, poeta e scrittore danese, vissuto nel XIX secolo, si può ammirare all'esterno del municipio di Copenhagen, sulla piazza del municipio (Radhuspladsen), osservando l'ingresso dell'edificio principale dell'edificio sulla parte leggermente declinante sulla destra del medesimo. Si può raggiungere a piedi dalla stazione centrale dei treni o dalla fermata della metropolitana Nørreport con l'autobus 5 C per poche fermate. È una grande statua in bronzo che giace con lo sguardo rivolto all'insù, quasi a vigilare sulla città. È caratterizzata da un libro che l'artista tiene stretto sullo mano destra a ricordare le opere prodotte e da un bastone su quella opposta in segno di eleganza e raffinatezza. È possibile scattare delle simpatiche fotografie (suggestivo con i raggi solari che ne illuminano il volto) sulle ginocchia di questo imponente monumento, in cui la grandezza dello scrittore si manifesta in tutto il suo splendore in omaggio a colui che diffuse la cultura danese in giro per il mondo.

Mange eventyr...
Hvis man godt kan lide H.C.Andersens eventyr så er det muligt at høre mange af dem læst op herinde... Derfor kan godt bruge en del tid på attraktionen - men det er også muligt at foretage et lynvisit hvis man er mere til det :-)

Unikt
Detta är som att slängas tillbaka till tiden som var, en häftig upplevelse att vara med om, man fattar bara inte hur man klarade av dessa tider som var.
