Located in the Province of North Jutland, Aalborg has become Denmark's fourth largest urban settlement, housing a population of over 119,000. Known for its historical landmarks such as Budolfi Church, half-timbered mansions, and Aalborghus Castle, the city has evolved from a working-class industrial hub into an important cultural centre. Home to Aalborg University and Trænregimentet, the Danish regiment for army supply and emergency medical personnel, this dynamic city has transitioned seamlessly into the modern age.

Aalborg's industrial past remains alive in its major exports of grain, cement, and liquors, with global producers like Siemens Wind Power, Aalborg Industries, and Aalborg Portland adding to the city's economic success. Aalborg is not just about business – the city celebrates various cultural events throughout the year, most notably the Aalborg Carnival, one of the largest festivals in Scandinavia. Connected to the rest of Denmark through Aalborg Railway Station and Aalborg Airport, the city continues to grow and attract more visitors each year.
