The small childhood home of Hans Christian Andersen paints a picture of the writer's poverty-stricken childhood. He lived here from 1807 to 1819, aged two to 14. A combination ticket is available, offering same-day entry to HC Andersen Museum, HC Andersens Hus, Møntergården and Børnekulturhuset Fyrtøjet.
