Guided tour in Aalborg
Tuesday, June 30 at 18:00-19:30
The tour will take you through the streets of Aalborg where you will experience history mixed with the 21st century at close range. We will walk through the old Aalborg with renaissance mansions, a baroque style Old Town Hall and shady dungeons, as well as a modern waterfront with a clean Scandinavian feel and not least architecture from world-renowned architects, among them Jørn Utzon, the architect behind the iconic Sydney Opera House. In Aalborg, he designed the Utzon Center, which is located right by the waterfront. The Utzon Center was the last building Jørn Utzon, who grew up in Aalborg, designed. Also located by the waterfront is Musikkens Hus, or the “House of Music”, which offers a variety of musical experiences to the inhabitants of Aalborg every year.
The tour will continue to history-rich Hjelmerstald, an old, picture-perfect street located right in the heart of Aalborg. The cobble stone street was created in the late 1600’s, and the small, colorful houses lining the street are between 200 and 300 years old. Additionally, in the summer, colorful hollyhocks line the street. The street as a whole creates a well-rounded image of what cities looked like back in the 1600’s. Today families inhabit all the houses, however back in the days, they used to be homes, shops, workshops, pubs and so on.
Harbour sightseeing tour on the Limfjord with M/S Kysten
Wednesday, July 1 at 17:30-19:00
A sailing trip on the Limfjord with M/S Kysten offers a unique perspective on the twin cities of Aalborg and Nørresundby. As the vessel moves smoothly through the water, the lively waterfronts, modern architecture, and historic buildings unfold along both sides of the fjord.
From the deck, passengers can enjoy views of Aalborg’s cultural landmarks and harbours, while Nørresundby’s quieter shoreline provides a pleasant contrast. The gentle movement of the ship and the open views across the fjord create a calm and relaxed atmosphere, right in the heart of the city.
On board M/S Kysten, there is time to slow down and take in the surroundings. Whether enjoying the fresh air outside or sitting comfortably indoors, the trip combines sightseeing with a sense of maritime tradition. A cruise on the Limfjord between Aalborg and Nørresundby is an ideal way to experience the cities from the water and appreciate the close connection between urban life and nature.
