Nice Aalborg flight

Would you like to amaze your partner or children with a surprise weekend to an unexpected destination? Dare to visit Aalborg! This agreeable Danish city is the perfect place to enjoy a holiday with your partner or the whole family. It's a city on a human scale, blending the simple pleasures of life with a vibrant night life. Take a romantic late-night stroll along Jomfru Ane Gade (Virgin Anne Street), which, contrary to its name, is not home to a wise nun, but has one of the highest concentrations of bars and nightclubs in the region. In May, if you are travelling with the kids, take them to the local carnival, one of the most popular in Europe. At any other time of the year, alternate between culture and nature, discovering wildlife, Vikings, the best contemporary artists, the flavours of the world’s cuisine or enchanted forests.

• Take a stroll through the old town, around St-Budolphe Cathedral, and discover the charm of its cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, and colourful façades. Some of the dwellings, still looking their best, are four or five centuries old.
• Visit the Utzon Centre to discover the work of architect Jørn Utzon, a native son, who became famous for designing... the Sydney Opera House. He also designed the building housing the museum dedicated to him.
• Whether you're a music lover or simply an aesthete, a visit to Musikkens Hus, the House of Music, is a must. The building, with its silver exterior, is magnificent. The interior is also well worth a visit, as the concert hall is home to the Aalborg Symphony Orchestra.
• Admire the 1,500 works from the modern art collection of the Kunsten Museum. This remarkable architectural showcase is home to works by Niki de Saint Phalle, Vasarely, Ernst, Chagall, César, and Warhol, to name but a few.
• Feeling in an arty mood? Take a stroll through the city and discover its many works of street art, or visit Nordkraft, a former power station that has been transformed into a cultural centre.
• Awaken your inner child by visiting the pretty Aalborg Zoo (over a hundred different species, from the savannah to the ice floe) and by boarding an authentic submarine, the Springeren, the star of the beautiful Maritime Museum.
• Discover some unusual sites with striking atmospheres: Lindholm Høje, a genuine Viking cemetery and, just an hour's drive from the city, Troldeskoven, the forest of trolls, with its mossy, twisted trees.
• Treat yourself in the kingdom of street food: The Lighthouse. Housed in a former furniture factory, discover a host of food stands inspired by cuisines from around the world: Indian, Japanese, Moroccan and Thai. Drink in the relaxed atmosphere as you enjoy the delicious food.
• Take a dip in the clear but cool waters of Limfjord at Vestre Fjordpark, an aquatic centre offering pools, diving boards, kayaks, paddles, windsurfing boards, beach volleyball and a climbing wall. Admission is free!
• Take to the heights for a pre-dinner drink and admire Aalborg from the sky (or almost). How? By taking the outside lift of Aalborgtårnet, Aalborg's tower, to reach the panoramic bar perched 55 metres above the ground - an impressive experience!
