The Aalborg waterfront promenade, extending east from Limfjordsbroen, is a good example of urban regeneration, taking what was a scruffy dockside area and opening it up to locals. Here you’ll find restaurants, a park, playground, basketball courts and moored boats (including an old ice-breaker, now a restaurant-bar). One of the best features is the Aalborg Havnebad , a summertime outdoor pool that lets you take a dip in the Limfjord.
East of the Utzon Center there's more new development, including university buildings and smart, low-cost housing for the city's growing student population. The latest addition is the shiny new Musikkens Hus , a first-class, futuristic-looking concert hall that opened in 2014.
An anachronism among all this new development, the mid-16th-century, half-timbered Aalborghus Slot is more an administrative office than a castle, but there’s a small dungeon you can visit.
