Aalborg and its surroundings
There are more reasons to visit Aalborg and its surroundings than just the food and nightlife.
Aalborg Zoo
Aalborg Zoo is located not far from the centre of the city.
Lindholm Høje Viking settlement
Originally a Viking settlement, Aalborg is home to one of the most important remains in Danish history - Lindholm Høje.
Excavated in 1952 with over 700 graves, the site is recognised as Scandinavia's largest Viking burial ground and today it houses The Viking Museum with indoor and outdoor activities.

Skagen
Just an hour's drive from Aalborg, idyllic Skagen is a favourite day trip for city breakers both in summer and winter.
Skagen is famous for its artists' colonies, wild landscape, fantastic beaches and the two seas that meet at ‘Grenen’ (the very northern point of continental Europe).
North Jutland, also known as 'the Land of Light', has some of Denmark's most popular coastal resorts, such as Løkken and Blokhus. Great for family holidays, watersports and other activities as well as bases from which to explore.

Art and culture in Aalborg
 For art lovers visit the North Jutland Art Museum, 'Kunsten'.

The new Utzon Centre designed by famous Danish architect Jørn Utzon (best known for building Australia’s Sydney
Opera) offers a fascinating  display of contemporary Danish and International art and design. The new art centre, Nordkraft Cultural Centre, on the city's harbour front is a vibrant house where many different cultural and sports players inspire and enrich each other and offer the public great cultural experiences.

Shopping
 Aalborg has two main pedestrian streets, Bispensgade and Algade, with a broad selection of high street brands, designer boutiques, and the large shopping centre Friis. It is easy to get around in the centre of Aalborg as most of the shops, cafés, bars are within walking distance. Furthermore, everything is close to the harbour which gives the centre of Aalborg a very unique atmosphere.
Great places to eat
 With more restaurants and bars per resident than any other town in Denmark there is something to suit everyone’s palette and pocket. From the cream coloured interior and international fusion style of Mortens Kro to Nordens Folkekøkken based on the classical Nordic kitchen cooked in new ways with local herbs and berries. Down at the harbour you can find Prinses Juliana, a floating seafood and gourmet restaurant in the former Dutch training ship named after Princess Juliana of the Netherlands in 1932
A night out on the town
Jomfru Ane Gade is a must when visiting Aalborg! It is the longest street in Denmark with bars and restaurants. The street has a cosy and fun vibe as people of all ages meet up either to enjoy a lovely meal, have a cocktail or dance all night long.
