Aalborg's entertainment district, Jomfu Ane Gade. The city is home to more restaurants, pubs and cafes per person than any other city in Denmark. Jomfu Ane Gade contains the single longest continuous stretch of restaurants, pubs and music cafes in the country.
It is usually busiest on Saturday nights, but is almost always full of activity. Students studying in Aalborg will be immersed in Danish culture.
