Utzon Center
You can experience art, architecture and design in a unique combination at the Utzon Center on Aalborg’s waterfront. Jørn Utzon, who grew up in Aalborg, and who designed the Opera House in Sydney, had the vision that his legacy in Aalborg would be something more than a museum – a vibrant blend of exhibition, education and conference. And this vision has come to life at the Utzon Center.

BioCity
If you enjoy the big blockbusters, you can easily spend a couple of hours in Aalborg’s largest movie theatre, Biocity.

Situated in Kennedy Arkaden, Biocity also has the advantage of getting you from the lovely Café Visa to the cinema without ever having to go outside.

Kunsten
You will be overwhelmed by an array of shapes, textures and colors, when you visit Kunsten - Museum of Modern Art. The building itself is a work of art designed by Finnish architect Alvar Alto, who used nature and the natural context of his art work as his primary source of inspiration. The exquisite pieces on display in the museum’s exhibition halls are uniquely illuminated to capture every angle.

Jumboland
When the rain is pouring down outside, restless children need exciting indoor activities – and this is exactly what you will find in Jumboland. Children of all ages can jump on the trampolines, get lost in the maze, race down the roller coasters and much more – and their parents can relax in the café while keeping an eye on their little boy or girl. Once the entrance is paid, all activities in Jumboland are free of charge.

Lindholm Høje Museum
The stories of the Vikings, who used to inhabit Aalborg, are told in new ways at Lindholm Høje Museum.

Biffen
If you enjoy independent and thought provoking movies, the small movie theatre Biffen in the culture house Nordkraft is a great place for you to spend a few hours on a rainy day. In addition to the mainly European productions shown in this cinema, Biffen also offers film festivals, short films and much more. And if you have a little extra time, you can explore the rest of Nordkraft and perhaps get a bite to eat – all without stepping out into the rain.
