What to do and see in Aalborg, Jutland: The Best Nature & Parks
If Aalborg were a house, the real estate agent would sell it as "loaded with potential." The 1,000-year-old city is Denmark’s fourth largest, and boasts a Viking past, over 300 restaurants, a casino, lively nightlife and great shopping. The zoo breeds rare Siberian Tigers, and the Waterland and Tivoliland make it a great place for families to visit. Aalborg isn’t a hotspot for foreigners, yet. But we’ll watch as the waterfront of this busy port continues to gentrify, with expectations it will be one in the future.

Kildeparken is one of the oldest parks in Aalborg, as it was landscaped in 1802. The beautiful park is known for its long list of classical pieces by famous artists, who have created both statues, scultpures and fountains. The most famous piece in the park is the Park of Music, which is a collection of trees that have been planted since 1987 by artists who have performed in Aalborg Culture and Congress Center. Most of these trees can be activated to plays three different tunes of the artists, who includes, among others sir Cliff Richard, Sting, Kenny Rogers, Take That, Rod Stewart and sir Elton John. The charming park is hosting a string of events each year. The largest annual event in Kildeparken is by far the carnival of Aalborg in May, which attracts most than 20.000 guests to a huge party in Kildeparken. Moreover, it is the place for childrens activities with a modern playground, or a separate childrens carnival in May each year.

Wandering out of the underpass beneath Aalborg station was greeted by the site of all these trees with “things” in front of them. At first thought this was a possibly memorial for resistance fighters from the War or something similar but was pleasantly surprised to discover its true intention. Each tree planted by a musician, band, group or whatever; guess Dame Edna among others goes into that last category. Each box in front produces a snippet (or more) of the artist’s music on the press of a button. With many of the musical segments updated to reflect the festive period one can have great fun pressing buttons to create mega mashups such as Bob Dylan singing “Little Drummer Boy” accompanied by Acker Bilk on clarinet & ZZ Top on guitars. Hours of pleasure or pain depending on your musical taste!

3-4 hours of walking. It's a city zoo so don't expect huge animal enclosures. Plenty picnic spots for your own lunch. Restaurant has good healthy food options. We had a nice time.
