Comwell Hvide Hus Aalborg

Aalborg Historical Museum

The museum is located in the centre of Aalborg, right next to Budolfi Church. The museum tells about the long and exciting history of the city, among other things during the occupation but also about the excavations of the famous gable house, in the middle of the city. The history of Aalborg and the surrounding area from the Iron Age up to the present day is an important part of the exhibition, but probably the best known is the museum's 'Aalborgstube' from 1602, which is also Denmark's best preserved Renaissance room.

There are changing special exhibitions all year round, of course with a focus on history and North Jutland, and it's also an educational experience for the whole family.

Discover Aalborg's 1200 year old history from being a trading centre in the 800s and up through the Viking Age and the Middle Ages to the present day.

Aalborg

Aalborg is a wonderful city that immediately gets all the senses going - and the shopping gene going, as shopping is a must when you visit Aalborg.

In the city centre you will find the popular shopping street, Bispensgade, where you will find Jomfru Ane Gade as a small side street. Jomfru Ane Gade hardly needs any introduction - it is known at home and abroad as Aalborg's old amusement street.

Aalborg offers a wealth of attractions, including Aalborg Zoo, Utzon Centre, Nordkraft, Musikkens Hus and Nordjyllands Kunstmuseum.

In VisitAalborg's InfoCenter you can get a small brochure "Du Gamle Aalborg" with two suggestions for walks that you can take on your own in Aalborg's old town.

Aalborg Zoo

If you're on a family holiday, a trip to Aalborg Zoo will certainly be of interest. Here, the whole family has plenty of opportunities to play and learn - and to be challenged and entertained. Take a walk on the savannah, where you can see giraffes and zebras, kudu and antelope. Watch the polar bears take a cool dip in the cold water and the red panda munch on fresh bamboo. At Aalborg Zoo you can see exotic animals such as the African elephant, Borneo orangutan and Asian lion. Akash the male lion, roars so he can be heard throughout the garden. Go wild on the nature playground and grill your own food. On weekends you can also see trained animals on the big Zoo Stage.

EKKO

Go on a driving holiday in Denmark and visit the work, EKKO by Thilo Frank. Here you can experience a very special work of art made of 199 tree trunks. Inside, the logs form a spacious shape that seems to be in constant rotation as long as the viewer is moving. If you stand still, the movement stiffens and the odd shape of the room challenges your balance.

To find the artwork EKKO, it is advantageous to park at Hjallerup Mekaniske Museum, where you can walk to the artwork.

The artwork is freely accessible around the clock.

Store Vildmose

Store Vildmose, a vast peat bog area in Northern Denmark, is renowned for its exceptional natural beauty and rich biodiversity. Once an extensive peat extraction site, it now stands as a vital conservation area, offering habitats for a myriad of wildlife species. Visitors can explore this unique landscape, experience its tranquil wilderness, and observe the diverse flora and fauna, making it a captivating destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Thingbæk Lime Mines

The famous Thingbæk Limestone Mines opened to visitors in 1935 and is probably one of Denmark's most distinctive underground museums. It is here that Anders Bundgaard exhibits his plaster figures. Put on some warm clothes and start your journey into the dark and chilly mine galleries and enjoy the majestic limestone caves that seem to appear all of a sudden.

At Thingbæk Møllegaard, lime has been mined for several generations, but it was not until 1926 that a mine was actually established, where lime was mined until 1960. However, the unprofitable production of lime had to give way to market forces.

Rebild bakker

Rebild National Park is a large area of heather-clad hills. There's plenty of opportunity for a great day out in nature - there's something for everyone, whether you're into mountain biking or long walks.
