CONFERENCE LOCATION
===================
With its more than 160,000 inhabitants, Aalborg is the fourth largest
city of Denmark and the regional capital of Northern Jutland. In more
ways than one, Aalborg is an interesting and dynamic city and has
the resources to be in the forefront of developments. The history of
Aalborg can be traced back more than 1,000 years. The city is situated
at the narrowest part of Bay Limfjorden and in the course of time
developed into one of the busiest trading centres of Denmark. Activity
and prosperity have left their marks on the city's architecture, and
many
of the old buildings still are natural elements in the townscape. The
area definitely has lots to offer, from historical buildings and
museums to some of the most beautiful beaches in the country within
easy reach. Aalborg is generally known as an exciting town with a wide
variety of activities. In addition to a vast number of cultural
events, Aalborg is renowned for its many restaurants, cafés and bars -
many of them to be found in Jomfru Ane Gade, Aalborg's amusement
street.
