Jutland
Ålborg or Aalborg (the latter spelling is preferred by the inhabitants), the fourth largest town in Denmark, is situated on the south bank of the Limfjord, which links the North Sea with the Kattegat and is particularly narrow at this point. A road and rail bridge and a six-lane motorway tunnel lead to Nørresundby, on the north side of the ford, which forms part of Greater Ålborg. The popular beaches along the North Sea are within easy reach.
History
Ålborg is mentioned about 1070 by Adam of Bremen as a "well-known seafaring town". In 1342 the existing Viking settlement was granted its town charter.
