Details About Aalborg

Destinations » Europe » Baltic Sea » Aalborg


On the banks of the Limfjord, Aalborg was originally a center for Viking trade over one thousand years ago. Today, shades of that past are evident in the city center, a pedestrian-friendly area whose wide Obels Plads - or square - welcomes visitors. Here, marvel at Jens Bangs Stenhus, built in 1624 and one of the largest Renaissance period town houses in Europe. Also in the city center, Aalborghus Castle, built in 1550 - and Budolfi Church cathedral.

Attractions

Take a culture beak at the North Jutland Art Museum with its collection of modern art. Browse the galleries and shops or listen to local music in the live-music cafés that line Jomfru Ane Street. The east coast of Denmark is famous for its beaches, and is a popular holiday spot for families. Nearby, visit the tiny market town of Nibe or cross the bridge to neighboring Nørresundby, where a museum and burial ground from the Germanic Iron Age and Viking times is located.
