Fancy seeing the biggest carnival in northern Europe? Why not head to
Copenhagen and take a connecting
flight to Aalborg for the city's annual jamboree?
The Aalborg Carnival sees some 25,000 people take part in its Grand Parade, while more than 100,000 spectators crowd the streets to witness this colourful spectacle.
Taking place between May 17th and 24th, the carnival will this year adopt the theme of Magic in the Air. Mini-events taking place during this period include special
carnivals for children and teenagers, as well as a host of comedy and music performances.
Some of the highlights of the event include the Battle of Carnival Bands and the closing party and fireworks display in Kildeparken.
As well as being linked to
London via direct flights, Aalborg is easily accessible from other UK locations via a connecting flight from
Copenhagen, so why not take the opportunity to visit the beautiful Danish capital on your way to or from the carnival?
Check out the
Aalborg Carnival website for more information.
