Aalborg is the capital of North Jutland, and in a league of its own. A pocket-size city, with its own unique atmosphere and something for everyone. Museums, cultural monuments and historic buildings. World-class architecture, zoo, art and gastronomy in abundance. And that’s in addition to great shopping, cobbled, picturesque streets, the relaxing Fjordpark and an inviting, bustling harbour front.
Aalborg Zoo is open 363 days a year - and no two days are alike. With far more than 100 different exotic animal species, educational experiences can be found all year round.
The Utzon Center in Aalborg is an experimental culture and knowledge center, where architecture, design, art and communication comes together. A magnificent experience for the whole family.
Vestre Fjordpark, re-opened in 2017 and has now transformed into a 165.000 square metre water park and activity centre, which can offer something for everyone who enjoys nature and water sport.
