Cities and towns
Aalborg
North Jutland's main city and Denmark's fourth-biggest city is Aalborg, an exciting and dynamic harbour city experiencing rapid development. You can see the dramatic modernisation of the city along the harbour front, where the new Utzon Centre gives you the history of the world famous architects behind the Sydney Opera House. Jørn Utzon, who founded the company, was an Aalborg native.
