Shopping in Aalborg

Other things to do in Aalborg

Kunsten – Museum of Modern Art in Aalborg is a modern art museum, an experience house and an architectural gem in itself. Created by the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto in collaboration with his wife Elissa Aalto and the Danish architect Jean-Jacques Baruël. Although the museum has existed since 1972, it still stands out today - not least thanks to the architects' modern thinking and thus the unique architecture.

Museum of Modern Art

Kunsten – Museum of Modern Art in Aalborg is an architectural masterpiece by Alvar and Elissa Aalto, showcasing Danish and international art from the 20th century to today. Explore five exhibition halls and unwind at Brasserie Kunsten, overlooking the Sculpture Park.

Rent a GoBoat and have a very special experience with your loved ones. From the boat you can enjoy the city and the harbour, where you can sit up to 8 people in the boats, and you don't need any proof or experience to sail.

GoBoat Aalborg

Rent a GoBoat in Aalborg for a relaxing and eco-friendly trip on the water. No license is needed—just bring up to eight people, enjoy food and drinks around the picnic table on board, and explore the harbour quietly with electric motors and stunning city views.

Aalborg Zoo

At Aalborg Zoo, giraffes roam with zebras and antelopes, polar bears swim, and lions roar across the park. Home to 11 of the 12 most popular zoo animals—including Denmark’s only Borneo orangutans and Asiatic lions—the zoo lets visitors explore diverse habitats and even walk among kangaroos in open enclosures.

Near Aalborg lies one of Denmark's unique historical monuments, Lindholm Høje. Two landmark historical eras meet here and, due to the northern Jutland climate, have been preserved for posterity.

Museum Lindholm Høje

Just outside Aalborg, Lindholm Høje offers a rare glimpse into Viking life. This well-preserved burial site, uncovered after centuries under drifting sand, features stone settings and artefacts displayed at the Lindholm Høje Museum, where visitors can explore reconstructed Viking houses and daily life.

The tower has Northern Europe's longest outdoor elevator, so the trip to the top is an experience in itself. When you finally get up, the beautiful view can be enjoyed ad libitum. And you can conveniently have a bite to eat in the tower's own bistro.

The Aalborg Tower

The Aalborg Tower offers a 55-metre elevator ride to stunning 360-degree views of the city. Enjoy the unique experience of Northern Europe’s longest outdoor elevator and dine in the tower’s cosy bistro while taking in the panoramic scenery.
