Aalborg Tower
Aalborgtårnet
A 105-meter observation tower on a hill in the west of the city. Its top-floor viewing deck and restaurant offer views over the whole city and the Limfjord.
Aalborg Tower was built in 1933 for the Nordic Exhibition and stands on Skovbakken hill behind the art museum. The top of the tower sits at roughly 105 meters above sea level, making it the highest point in the city. Take the elevator to the top floor for a 360-degree view of the old town of Aalborg, both shores of the Limfjord, and the surrounding farmland. On clear days, the view can extend for dozens of kilometers. There is a restaurant at the top. Tickets cost about DKK 60, and the tower is open only in spring, summer and autumn. You can combine a visit with the North Jutland Art Museum: from the back door of the museum, it is about a 10-minute walk uphill along a wooded path.
Opening hours
Approx. Apr–Oct 10:00–17:00 (extended hours in summer); closed in winter
