Aalborg is the regional capital of Northern Jutland with about 200.000 inhabitants. The city dates back to the 11. century. Underneath the centre of the city there are traces of a viking settlement as well as the remains of the medieval town (this can be seen today - check out https://nordjyskemuseer.dk/u/graabroedekloster-museet/). The city grew through the 19th century industrial revolution, where Aalborg had several large factories. Through the last 20 years or so, the city has developed into a city with multiple cultural offers (i.g. concerts in Musikkens Hus, out-door concerts in Karolinelund etc., historical museums, art museums, exhibitions and fairs etc. in Nordkraft and loads more). Also, in the city centre there is a vast variety of shops and restaurants, cafés, bars etc.
