Lindholm Høje
Lindholm Høje is recognised as Scandinavia’s largest Viking burial ground. It is a burial site and habitation centre from Germanic Iron Age and Viking Age. There are 682 graves and 150 ship settings (graves). At the museum you can learn about the people of Lindholm’s conditions and see unusual exhibits with models, tableaux and large reconstructive paintings based on the prehistoric finds. These show how the people of Lindholm kept cattle, cultivated the fields, built and furnished their houses, and kept busy cooking, weaving and trading as well as all the other chores of everyday life.

Aalborg Historical Museum
Aalborg Historical Museum tells the story of the town and its surroundings over the last 1000 years. Exciting permanent exhibitions, which span from ancient to industrial time. The exhibition also includes a large collection of locally produced silverware and glass. A special attraction is the Aalborgstue (the Aalborg Room) from 1602 - without a doubt the best preserved Bourgeois Renaissance interior in the country. In addition there are varied special exhibitions.

 The Franciscan Friary Museet

There are exhibitions with models, finds and displays of the excavations and about friary life in medieval Aalborg.

Jens Bang's House 
Jens Bang's House is the finest example of renaissance domestic architecture in Northern Europe. The house was built in 1624 by the wealthy merchant Jens Bang, who was a typical figure of the renaissance. He had a love for splendour and was talented but also argumentative and obstinate. With its five storeys this house stood out ostentatiously and its rich ornamentation was a challenge to the other respectable citizens. Rumour has it that the many grotesque carvings on the façade of the building were caricatures of the many enemies of Jens Bang and this was his way of getting revenge. Although he was Aalborg’s richest man he never became a member of the town council. This is why he can be seen today sitting on the south façade of the house sticking his tongue out at the town hall, from which the town was ruled by its two burgomasters and 12 councillors.

Aalborg Castle
Aalborghus Castle is Denmark’s only preserved tax collecting castle built by King Christian the 3rd in 1539-55 as the residence of the local governor. It was equipped with large store rooms for taxes, which were paid in kind. It has since been renovated, and extensions have been built. 
Pedestrians have access to courtyard and grounds, all year from 8 am to 9 pm. From 1 May - 31 October, admission to the dungeons 8 am - 3 pm Monday to Friday and to underground passages 8 am - 9 pm daily.

Aalborg Town Hall
Aalborg Town hall is a beautiful late baroque building, which was built in 1762. Until 1912 the borough of Aalborg's administration was assembled in the town hall, where the tasks were solved by only 9 persons. Today it is only used for official receptions and civil marriages. Above the main entrance you see King Frederik V’s motto ‘Prudence and Constancy’.  

 

Budolfi Cathedral
Budolfi church has functioned as Cathedral since 1554, named after the English patron saint of seamen St. Botolph. The Cathedral was built mainly around 1400 in a Gothic style and has since been rebuilt and expanded. The oldest parts date from about 1100 and the baroque spire is from 1779. The altarpiece and pulpit are from the end of the 17th Century. The interior is very beautiful and colourful. The Cathedral’s carillon chimes on the hour from 9am to 10pm.

Monestary of the Holy Ghost
The Monestary of the Holy Ghost is the oldest social institution in Denmark. It was established in 1431 by the ‘honest’ woman Maren Hemmings and elevated to Monastery in 1451. Since the Reformation, the Monastery was a hospital, and the city's "Latin School" was housed here for nearly 300 years. In the Second World War, the Churchill Club, Denmark’s first Resistance group was based here.
The monastery is one of the biggest and best preserved in Denmark. It has a historical interior with frescoes dated about 1500.  The Monastery was a double monastery divided into a section for monks and one for nuns, and their duties were to take care of the sick and the old - a task which has been carried out here ever since the Monastery was established.

House of crafts
The House of Crafts is the North Jutlandic Centre for Crafts, architecture and Culture and is located in old half-timbered buildings from 1630. The buildings were originally a part of Oluf Christensen’s large merchant's house, which stretched from Vesterå to Kattesundet. Today, the house contains workshops with the traditional crafts: hand forge, tin and copper smithing, turner, carpenter and joiner plus clockmaker.
