Jomfru Ane Gade is maybe the most popular street in the entire country and by far the most popular street in Aalborg. The street is only 150 meters long and is located in the very center of Aalborg. It is very busy on hot summer evenings and you will find people staying in the street partying through the whole night.

If possible you should visit the street both during the day and at night. The street is filled with cafés and restaurants during daytime and by night you will find the street packet with clubs and bars. This is a real “going-out”-street. In fact, besides a 7-Eleven store, the street is occupied by nothing but clubs and restaurants. It is actually said to be the longest continuous stretch of restaurants and bars in Denmark.

During the day you will find plenty of restaurants suitable for the whole family. Most of the buildings in the street are several hundreds years old and during the summer you can enjoy the view of people walking by from the tables outside every restaurant. Around 23:00 the restaurants will transform into clubs and bars. Jomfru Ane Gade is nothing like the red light district of Amsterdam, but you should not bring small children if you plan on making a visit by night. At this time of the day, the street is literally filled with loud and drunk people of almost all ages. As a matter of fact, children under the age of 18 will be asked to leave by the police.

The city is the most monitored street in Denmark and you will see surveillance cameras almost everywhere in the street and on the rooftops. The police is also present at all times during the night. Therefore the street is quite safe despite all the people.

In Jomfru Ane Gade you will find many different clubs each famous for its own type of music. The locals usually start arriving between 23:00 and 00:00, but you will not see the true level of partying prior to one or two hours after midnight. Many people stay up the whole night and in the summer months you will see people still partying when the sun rises in the morning.

Jomfru Ane Gade is not a place to miss, so you better start looking for those cheap flights (or billige flybilletter as it’s called in Danish) to Aalborg, Denmark. Come visit this summer and get ready to party hard in Jomfru Ane Gade.
