Jomfru Ane Gade

Getting around: Central Aalborg, a few minutes' walk from the harbor and old town.
Hours: Public street, always accessible; nightlife venues typically operate Thursday through Saturday evenings.

Jomfru Ane Gade is Aalborg's nightlife street, often cited as one of the densest concentrations of bars per capita in Scandinavia. By day it's an unremarkable, slightly worn pedestrian street of restaurant frontages; by night, especially on weekends, it turns into the city's main going-out strip.

It's worth walking through if you're in Aalborg on a Friday or Saturday night and want a sense of local nightlife; during the day there's little reason to seek it out specifically.
