Situated like a pearl in the Nordic Limfjord, Aalborg is a really unique Scandinavian city. Aalborg always exhibits impressive contrasts through its multiple facets. From old to new, it features both Viking relics and modern designs. From sea to land, it offers both oceanic views and inland scenery. From spring to winter, it hosts diversified cultural events. Aalborg is a place for sightseeing, fun and even adventure. Each year, hotels of all types, bars of distinctive styles, museums of different themes, and many other convenient tourist facilities accommodate over 300,000 visitors from all over the world.
During summer, Aalborg is a great tourist attraction with expansive white beaches. By excursions of 30 minutes to one hour from the city center, one can easily reach the broad, white beaches and beautiful landscape of the North Sea on the west coast of Jutland. Meanwhile, over 300 restaurants and bars in the city render short Nordic summer nights even shorter and unforgettable.
SSTD 2009 will include a half-day social program that samples the natural and cultural uniqueness of North Jylland. We will go through Sæby and the ferry port of Frederikshavn to Skagen, the northernmost town in Denmark. On the way, we will take a short break at the Råbjerg Mile migrating sand dunes just south of Skagen. In Skagen, we will start by visiting Grenen in the tractor-driven 'Sandormen' (the Sand Worm). Grenen is the northernmost point in Denmark, also forming the top of the European continent where the neighboring seas of Kattegat and Skagerrak meet. After that, we will visit Skagen's Museum, famous for its large collection of paintings from the Scandinavian Golden Age. The banquet will be at restaurant Pakhuset that overlooks the busy yacht harbor of Skagen. Before the banquet, there will be leisure time to be spent in this charming, picturesque town, and you will surely discover why Skagen is one of the most popular destinations in Denmark.
