Ålborg, Denmark

Ålborg Walking Tour

Utzon Center, Old Town and Ålborghus Castle Walk through the medieval buildings of Ålborg’s old town to discover its trade roots and Viking heritage. Leaving your ship’s berth in the city center, walk along the renovated waterfront district, home to the Utzon Center. Take a stroll by one of Ålborg’s real treasures, Jens Bang’s stone house. Bang was famously snubbed by the town’s government and his statuesque renaissance home was never approved by the local gentry. See the Ålborghus Castle, a 14th-century fortress built using the traditional half-timber technique. Experience a local Viking market, where you can delight in a selection of delicacies that would have been enjoyed by the early Danish explorers while being entertained by some true Danish Vikings. After your meeting with the lovely ancient Danes, walk back to your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
