Odense Welcomes Taapsee Pannu as Official Tourism Ambassador
6th June 2025: In a heartwarming blend of culture, innovation, and storytelling, the city of Odense proudly announces Indian actress Taapsee Pannu as its official Tourism Ambassador. Having recently moved to Odense with her husband, renowned Danish badminton player Mathias Boe, Taapsee brings a global spotlight to this enchanting Danish city – her second home.
Odense, the birthplace of world famous storyteller Hans Christian Andersen, is a city where fairytales come alive. From cobblestone streets and historic houses to the cutting-edge Hans Christian Andersen House, designed by the world-renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, the city breathes creativity and charm. But Odense is not only a city of the past—it is also a hub of innovation. As the birthplace of cobots (collaborative robots), it stands at the forefront of technological advancement, seamlessly blending tradition with modernity.
Taapsee, known for her powerful performances and global appeal, embodies the spirit of Odense—bold, imaginative, and forward-thinking. Her move to the city marks a new chapter, not only in her personal life but also in Odense’s cultural journey. As Tourism Ambassador, she will help share the magic of Odense with the world, inviting travelers to explore its rich history, vibrant culture, and innovative spirit.
VisitOdense, the city’s official tourism organization, is thrilled about this new collaboration. With Taapsee Pannu as Tourism Ambassador, the city sees a unique opportunity to showcase Odense’s many experiences to a global audience. Together both Taapsee and VisitOdense look forward to highlighting the city’s rich cultural heritage, its innovative spirit, and the unique Nordic lifestyle that makes Odense so special. From cozy cafés and scenic bike paths to world-class museums and cutting-edge tech hubs, the partnership aims to present Odense as a destination where global appeal meets authentic Danish charm.
