Safety is a general editorial assessment, not an official rating — check the official travel advisories for Denmark before travelling.
City Overview
Aalborg is the largest city in northern Denmark and the center of North Jutland — successfully transformed from an industrial port into a knowledge, green and cultural economy (Aalborg University, the harbour culture zone). Regeneration along the Limfjord (concert hall, waterfront) gives it energy, and living and housing costs are among the lowest of Danish big cities. Very safe and highly livable — the education, culture and economic center of northern Denmark.
