The fact that Aalborg was placed no. 8 on the New York Times’ list of places in the world that deserved a visit is no coincidence. Aalborg is simply something special. A pocket-sized city with international stature, where attractions and things to do stand in line. You’ll need all your senses here.
International art, historic buildings, the Iron Age and Viking period, industrial history, Franciscan monks and a trip on board a genuine submarine. These are just some of the things Aalborg has to offer on the historic and culture front.
Aalborg is famed for its hospitality, and has always been a leader when it comes to nightlife. Everyone knows Jomfru Ane Gade, often simply referred to as ‘Gaden’ (the Street). This is where serious partying goes on.
Aalborg is like a box of chocolates - one tidbit after the other appears. That also applies to Aaborgs shopping life. Aalborg is a party for the senses - and the shopping gene!
Vesterbro and Brotorvet in Nørresundby comprise the biggest concentration in northern Europe of functionalism, giving Aalborg its well-deserved global architectural reputation, with the Utzon Center, Alvar Altos Kunsten and Coop Himmelblaus and Musikkens Hus Aalborg.
Det er sjovt at være i Aalborg. Så skal man i Zoo, eller I Leos Legeland; og højt til vejrs i Aalborg Klatrepark. En badetur til Vestre Fjordpark skal der også være plads til, og det maritime oplevelsescenter Springeren ligeså.
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.
At Springeren - Maritime Centre, you get to experience the unique life at sea in the Port of Aalborg and Aalborg Shipyards. You can find different activities that the whole family can enjoy together.
