Jomfru Ane Gade
Denmark's most famous bar street, with over a hundred bars, restaurants and nightclubs packed into a stretch of little more than 100 meters, and the very definition of Aalborg nightlife.
Jomfru Ane Gade is an old street only about 150 meters long. Nearly all of the 18th- and 19th-century houses lining it are bars, restaurants and nightclubs. By day they have outdoor seating; by night, especially on weekends, the crowds surge, and it is considered Denmark's best-known "party street." The name means "Maiden Ane" and is said to derive from a 17th-century legend about a young woman. Nearby Bispensgade and the harbor waterfront also have plenty of eateries and bars. Watch your belongings at night, and if you'd rather avoid the noise of weekend nights, keep that in mind when choosing a hotel.
