Gammeltorv is Aalborg’s oldest public square and dates back to the 13th century. It took the name Gammeltorv (Old Square) in 1604 following the inauguration of nearby Nytorv (New Square). Up until 1588 the square housed an open-air Town Court where hangings and beheadings took place. Today, the square is a peaceful place for events and recreation. Architecture and history enthusiasts can find some notable buildings here. Enter the eye-catching Budolfi Cathedral, situated on the south side of the square to see its many historic treasures and soak up the tranquility. The Gothic and Baroque building has a carillon of 48 bells that chimes on the hour, six days a week. On Sundays its melodies call in churchgoers for the Lutheran service. Near the square’s northeast corner the Aalborg Rådhus is the rococo-style Town Hall of more than 250 years old. At the main entrance, look up at its original gas lamps, the national coat of arms and bust of King Frederick V. While here, visit the Studenterhuset. This café and live music venue is run by volunteers. Every year a free outdoor concert celebrates the beginning of the summer vacation. Watch performances by popular Danish bands, such as Reptile Youth and Turboweekend. Visit the venue’s official website for its opening hours and concert schedule. It is extra special to be at Gammeltorv during festivities. A Christmas Market delights the crowds each year in November and December. Buy locally-made handicrafts or food and try gløgg, a Danish mulled wine mixed with spices and spirits such as brandy or schnapps. During important soccer matches, come here to watch the game on a big screen. Visit the official Aalborg Events website for the event schedule. Located in the Aalborg’s city center, Gammeltorv is within walking distance of the city’s major attractions. The pedestrianized shopping streets Bispensgade and Gravensgade are less than a 5-minute walk away. Nearby Jomfru Ane Gade, an historic street, is a the hub for the city’s nightlife. ### Popular places to visit ![Budolfi Cathedral which includes a church or cathedral and heritage architecture](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/53000/53833-Budolfi-Cathedral.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Budolfi Cathedral Visit Aalborg’s landmark Gothic church with a Baroque bell tower to admire its architecture and ornaments, hear the carillon or attend a concert or Lutheran service.
