Aalborg is a very nice and calm city to explore in a day or two. You can enjoy the view of the harbor of go for a walk in the city center shopping, looking at the historical buildings by your own or with a guide. Of course there is some night life which cause people being drunk and loud in actions and words. If you want to party we do have Jomfru Ane Gade which is a full street of bars and clubs super cool.

Aalborg is a very quiet city, which is mostly inhabited by students because of the big university in the city. Nothing much ever happens here, and it is a good place to experience a bit of city life while feeling homey.
