Aalborg Travel Guide

Aalborg Zoo is a famous attraction in Denmark, worth visiting.

Rising from Skovbakken hill on the southern edge of Aalborg, this 54.9-metre steel lattice tower was built in 1933 for the North Jutland Exhibition. Its open-air elevator is the highest of its kind in Northern Europe, carrying visitors to a 360-degree viewing platform where the Limfjord, the old rooftops and KUNSTEN's sculptural form unfold below. A bistro at the top makes sunset visits especially rewarding.

Designed by Alvar Aalto and opened in 1972, KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art Aalborg sits on a hill a short walk from the Aalborg Tower. The collection focuses on Danish and international art from 1900 onwards, complemented by a sculpture park, a brasserie and a bookshop. The building itself, with its white tiles, curved galleries and skylit halls, is a highlight, and the museum's programme of temporary shows keeps it one of the most dynamic galleries in Northern Jutland.

Lindholm Høje is one of Northern Europe's most important Iron Age and Viking burial grounds: nearly seven hundred ancient graves spread across the hillside, their stones outlining ship-shaped settings

Built for King Christian III in the 16th century, Aalborghus is one of Denmark's rare Renaissance castles still in official use — for centuries the residence of the county governor, and today occupied
