Aalborg

With its 200,000 inhabitants, Aalborg is the fourth largest city of Denmark and the regional capital of North Denmark - the region in Denmark blessed by nature with the most hours of sunshine. The central harbour is located in the very heart of the city next to innovative world-class architecture and exciting recreative park areas.

Aalborg is a bustling university city situated at the narrowest part of the Limfjord in the midst of wood-covered hills, moors and shallow marshes. Activity and prosperity left their marks on the city’s architecture, and many of the old buildings still function as natural elements in the townscape. Today, the city center’s modern architecture blends in effortlessly with a variety of old buildings and cosy cobbled streets with half-timbered houses and charming squares.

Just outside the city lies Lindholm Høje, a Viking site and one of the most important ancient monuments in Denmark. The burial site has 700 graves in stone settings and a Museum.
