Selected experiences on the route

Street Art - Liquen
Take a look at the impressive mural by the Spanish artist Liqen, located in the courtyard at Danmarksgade 27A. The artwork was created in 2014 and explores themes such as nature, humans, and their interrelationship.

Liqen was born in Spain in 1980 and has been an avid painter since his childhood. He is deeply concerned with humans and nature, and particularly the diversity of species holds a central place in his consciousness. When Liqen decorates, he does so with an overarching theme about the way we treat the environment and cultures.

With murals spread across the world, from Mexico, Italy, England, the USA, and to Denmark, Liqen has managed to share his message about nature, the environment, and people across national borders.

Aalborg Waterfront
Treat yourself to an urban experience and explore the Aalborg waterfront, which has undergone an impressive transformation. Where once there was a busy industrial district, you can now enjoy a selection of gastronomic delights and world-class architecture.

Take a relaxing stroll along the water while basking in the sun's rays and admiring the waterfront's fantastic architecture. See the famous Utzon Center, the old Nordkraft, and the talked-about House of Music. The waterfront can also be enjoyed in Jomfru Ane Park, which, especially during the summer months, is very popular, or walk past the old Aalborghus Castle and feel the sweep of history.
