Denmark is known as a bike friendly country and bicycles are both a sustainable means of transportation and part of the local lifestyle. Experience Aalborg on two wheels, like the locals, on a beautiful and enjoyable guided bike ride along the fjord. Get close to both the history of Aalborg and Denmark and find out more about the Danish way of living on this charming bike ride, which also includes a small refreshment stop. The ride along the harbor front will take you past two of Aalborg's pride and local juggernauts during the industrial era: C.W Obels Tobacco Factory, one of the area's largest factories, and also the Danish liquor factory and the producer of the world-famous schnapps, Red Aalborg Aquavit. The factories are not in use these days and the area is undergoing a transformation to become Aalborg's new modern city, called Cloud City after the 98-foot-high (30-meter-high) artwork by the same name, made by the Argentinian artist Tomás Saracenos. You will see Fjordbyen, or the Fjord Village, said to be Aalborg's answer to Copenhagen's freetown Christiania. In spite of rules and regulations, the settlement was established on the edge of the beautiful Limfjord. But nowadays, the district is more or less legalized and inhabited by creative and artistic people, clearly shown in the small, self-built and often very colorful houses there. Next on, experience a brand-new recreation area in Aalborg. Vestre Fjord Park is an outdoor place for locals and guests, meant for swimming, relaxing and socializing. The area recently won a special price for its creative architecture and its interaction with the surrounding nature. You'll make a refreshment stop here and re-fuel before biking your way back to the yacht. Please note: Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear. A bike and a helmet will be provided. Tour may operate in reverse order. Guests need to be physically fit and able to negotiate the bike unassisted and should be able to do the course of the tour by themselves. Guests don't need to be well-trained bikers, and most of the tour is conducted on a flat terrain. Tour operates in most weather conditions.

Ghost stories, Templar Knights, Kings, an outstanding collection from the French Royal Family. This tour offers you a variety of breathtaking stories from both Manor House and Abbey. Voergaard Manor invites you in behind the moat and meter-thick walls to impress you with large collections of furniture, antiques, paintings, china, and silverware, including treasures from Louis XIV, Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette's personal effects as well as works by Rubens, Raphael, Goya and El Greco. Behind the enchanting moat lies Voergaard Manor House, one of the finest Renaissance castles in Denmark. You will be met by your specialist guide, who will tell you stories of love and luck, the scariest ghost stories and show you the largest private collection of French art and artefacts outside of France. Discover all the amazing stories the Manor has to tell. The Manor House is decorated and furnished just as it was by the last owner, Count Oberbech-Clausen, who brought the large collection of furniture, antiques, paintings, china, and silverware from his possessions in France to Voergaard, including tapestry from the Vatican and treasures from Louis XIV, Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette's personal effects as well as works by Rubens, Raphael, Goya and El Greco. In 1963, Oberbech-Clausen died and Voergaard was converted to a family trust, the aim of which was to preserve the castle for posterity and keep the collection open to the public. As you wander through the halls, you are walking in the footsteps of Templar Knights, former Kings of Denmark - and ghosts. The latter you will see in the tower, where the bloodstain is visible on the floor - each time it has been removed it reappears the day after. From this enchanting visit, the tour continues to the Borglum Abbey. Drive through small scenic villages, lining the route to the Abbey located to the West of Voergaard. The abbey is one of the oldest still existing abbeys in Denmark, dating back to the 11 th century. It has served as royal residence and abbey and, through decades, it has been the center of power in northwestern Jutland. The abbey is now owned by the Lord Chamberlain Hans Rottbøll and wife Anne who, together with their four children, reside in all of the abbey's 85 rooms. Upon arrival, you will have a guided tour of the abbey, visiting the church, the old kitchen and the stables - which also boasts a magnificent replica of the Bayeux Tapestries. After immersing yourself in the great place, filled with history and tales, enjoy a light refreshment in the form of coffee and Danish pastry, before returning to your yacht in Aalborg. Please note: Wear weather appropriate clothing and comfortable walking shoes as uneven surfaces might occur. Tour may operate in reverse order. No photography allowed inside the Manor/Castle.

Here's a pub-crawl cleverly disguised as a shore excursion, designed to please the most discriminating beer palate and, of course, is also for those who are along strictly for the purpose of cultural enlightenment. Although Aalborg is most famous for its production of Aquavit, there is little doubt that the locals love their beer too. Aalborg is notoriously known, in Denmark, for the Jomfru Ane Gade (Virgin Anne Street); a street dedicated entirely to establishments where adult beverages are enthusiastically consumed. You will have a guided stroll to three of the most popular local watering holes. Starting out on foot from the pier, you will not have far to walk in order to find the first oasis. Step inside and learn about the specialty beers carried here - or in some cases brewed right here on the premises. Meet the barkeep and enjoy the first of a total of six 5 oz. beer tastings included in the tour. Your beer is served in a special Aalborg Beerwalk logo glass, which is yours to keep at the end of the tour. As you stroll from pub to pub, your guide will show you the Old Town of Aalborg and share stories from the colorful history of this northern town. If you opt to stay in town to shop or explore independently following the tour you will have to make your own way back to the yacht. Please note: Wear weather appropriate clothing and comfortable walking shoes as uneven surfaces might occur. Minimum age to participate in this tour is 21.

Between 1940 and 1945 Denmark was occupied by Nazi Germany. From the beginning of the occupation the Danish Government cooperated with the occupiers. However, the policy of cooperation eventually led to frustration for a group of eight young teenage boys because the adults were not fighting or showing resistance towards the Nazis. Finally, the boys agreed that something had to be done. So, they founded the first resistance group in Denmark, the "Churchill Club." By the spring of 1942, the Churchill Club had undertaken 25 operations against the Nazis before they were arrested on May 18, accused of vandalism, theft, and arson, and placed in custody in Aalborg Prison. Three of them were later sent to a German prison. The younger members were sentenced to shorter terms to be served in Danish prisons. The Club's exploits and the treatment they received became the catalyst for the re-awakening of Denmark; resistance movements and general disobedience by the public grew. Follow in the steps of the Churchill Club and visit some of the places where they planned and executed some of their activities. Hear how the locals lived during the occupation and visit Duus Vinkælder followed by a beer and akvavit tasting. Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing.

Nestled between the rolling hills of Guldbæk Hamlet you will find one of the world's most northerly located vineyards and winery, currently on track for a full organic winery award. The Thrysøe family started their vineyard in 2008, which has expanded continuously ever since. Today there are over 15,000 vines of various sorts, spread over four acres. Enjoy a very personal and intimate visit hosted by the Thrysøe family as you pay a visit to both the winery and the beautiful vineyards. You will be welcomed with a glass of the bubbly 2020 award-winning local "Champagne." Hear stories from members of the family who will explain why countries like France, Portugal and Italy are being challenged when it comes to future wine production. Hear and learn more about how they do everything by hand to create a more sustainable and organic wine. Let this awe-inspiring place and its owners stimulate all your senses starting from the moment you arrive. Family is the key word here and the focus of the owner's life. Three generations share the challenges, the excitement, and the endless possibilities that the surrounding nature affords them, whether it's when the grapes are being harvested, the wine is being produced or relaxing around the family's kitchen table. The family invites you to experience the vineyards. Take in the charming nature, browse around in the family shop where wine, pickled wine shoots and local produce can be purchased. Finally, meet on the terrace, wonderfully situated above the winery overlooking the hilly scenery. Here you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings and company of your hosts, while indulging in the locally produced and carefully selected small dishes, which, of course, will be accompanied by 3 of the award-winning wines of the Thrysøe vineyard. All bubbled up, return to the yacht. Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. Walking will be on uneven surfaces. Not recommended for guests with walking difficulties. The tour is not suitable for users of wheelchairs or walkers. Tour might operate in reversed order.

Walk from the pier to New Square and the Jens Bang's Stone House. Built in 1624, this 5-story, ornate Renaissance house was the largest private home in Denmark and today is considered one of the city's greatest treasures. Pass the lovely Baroque-style Town Hall dating back to 1762 and continue to the Budolfi Cathedral. This snow-white cathedral was built as a mere church in the late 1300s; its status was upgraded to 'cathedral' in 1554. Although quite plain on the outside, the cathedral is surprisingly beautiful and colorful on the inside. View the Monastery of the Holy Ghost, established in 1451 as a part of a hospitalier order that originated in France. It is one of the best-preserved medieval establishments in Denmark, and a great example of an early welfare institution that cared for the sick, the old and orphaned. The monastery now serves as a home for senior citizens. Visit the Missing Bell brew-pub, which is Aalborg's only pub with its own brewery. The pub is tastefully decorated with interior from an old church from Northern England; the only thing missing is the original church bell, because it did not fit into the truck when the interior was shipped to Denmark. How the pub got its name is no longer a mystery. Enjoy a tasting of beer with a piece of rye bread, pickled herring and schnapps - all in all a traditional Danish lunch. Next you will discover the charming Old Town with your guide and as you stroll down the pedestrian street. A slight detour takes you through an inconspicuous side door and down 10 feet underground to see the atmospheric ruins of the Monastery of the Grey Friars. Franciscan Friars built this monastery around 1250. On your way to the harbor you will see how Aalborg is reviving its waterfront district by demolishing the old industrial facilities and replacing them with new and exciting architecture. Watch for Aalborghus Castle near the waterfront -- it is a half-timbered, 16 th century castle built by King Christian III, and became the seat of the King's provincial governors in Northern Europe. Please note: Wear weather appropriate clothing and comfortable walking shoes as uneven surfaces might occur. Minimum age to participate in this tour is 21.
