Odense may be known as a city of robotics and software, but the Danes are also world-famous for the concept of hygge: Coziness in the Danish way. The core of hygge is spending time together in cozy settings, often indoors with candles lit when it’s cold outside and often with a cup of coffee or a good beer in the hand. But it can also be walking on the beaches in the wind. No matter if you come only for ICSA 2025 or decide to stay for further days, you will surely experience the Danish hygge when walking the city, taking part in the evening events, and exploring Odense on your own.
