Ålborg, Denmark

A Leisurely Walk Around Ålborg

Discover Historic Ålborg on Foot Set out to explore Ålborg’s highlights and visit our own Viking market during a walking excursion. Meet your guide at the pier and enjoy a gentle stroll to Aalborghus Castle, passing the centuries-old dungeons. Here, you will explore its grounds and visit our very own Viking market where you may sample local snacks and delicacies as you admire your surroundings. Next, walk to the Vor Frue Kirke (Church of Our Lady), which to this day still houses one of the original church bells dating back to the 12th century. Visit the charming old town and see the 14th-century Gothic Budolfi Church, where you will pause for photos. Finally, stroll by one of Ålborg’s real treasures, Jens Bang’s Stonehouse. Bang was famously snubbed by the town’s government, and his statuesque Renaissance-style home was never approved by the local gentry. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
