Historical city wallk on MP3

Marie takes you on a city walk around Aalborg. The time has been turned 400 years back to the beginning of 17th century, when Aalborg, with its 5.000 inhabitants, was the second largest city in Denmark and an active commercial centre.

You can listen to Marie’s stories directly on this page by clicking on the pictures below. Or even better - download the 19 stops to your PC (or to mac) in an overall package for your MP3 player, print the matching city map and start your city tour joined by Marie. If you did not bring your MP3 player contact the staff in VisitAalborgs Info Center and they will agaainst a deposit provide you with one. 

Look forward to a mix of historical facts, tall stories and theatre produced by The Secret Theatre. Hopefully the tour will give you an insight into the history of Aalborg in an alternative and interesting way.
Enjoy your city tour!
