About Aalborg

The main city of north Jutland and the fourth largest in Denmark, AALBORG hugs the southern bank of the Limfjord and boasts a nightlife and music scene to rival Copenhagen's. The most obvious place to spend a night or two before venturing into the wilder countryside beyond, Aalborg is the main transport terminus for the region, and boasts a well-preserved old centre dating from its seventeenth-century trading heyday.

The era is perhaps best exemplified by the Jens Bangs Stenhus opposite the tourist office, a grandiose five stories in the Dutch Renaissance style, which has functioned as a pharmacy since it was built.
