Aalborg

Aalborg's name can be traced back to coins from the 11th century in the form of Alabu or Alabur.

The area around Aalborg attracted settlements as far back as the Iron Age, leading to a thriving Viking community until around the year 1000.

Aalborg is located at the narrowest point of the Limfjord, connecting it to the Kattegat about 35 kilometers to the east.

Aalborg was home to De Danske Spritfabrikker, the world's largest akvavit producer and exporter, until 2014.
