3-Hours Street Art Tour in Aalborg

Vi havde booket en privat Street Art tour og det var så god en oplevelse. Anita - vores guide - var rigtig dygtig og underholdende og vi havde den bedste oplevelse! Vil klart anbefale det!

This day was a true highlight to an amazing trip. We booked a private Street Art Tour with Kenneth Pinsker. Prior to the tour I asked Kenneth for a recommendation for where to have lunch. He told us we needed to have a traditional Danish Smorrebord meal. He gave a list of 3 choices within a rolling distance of the ship. Hos Henius, or Den Bette Kro or Mortens Kro. We chose Den Bette Kro. We invited a young couple we met on the ship to join us and we were all going to meet in the square. It started raining on the way. I have no idea how Kenneth new which street we would take to the square to meet but there he was offering us umbrellas and to help push me. I needed the exercise after our lunch and we headed off to meet the other couple. The tour was amazing. Kenneth’s knowledge of the city was endless. He shared the recent history of the evolution of Aalborg from a seedy port town riddled with violence, drugs, trafficking to a safe city filled with college students and amazing art. The street art is produced by international artists who are invited to paint the sides of buildings. When two galleries started the project it took a lot to convince building owners to let there exteriors be painted by artists, now there are long waits to have a building excepted and artists come from all over the world to showcase their work. Kenneth knew where every painting was located, about the genre, the materials used, the artist. We enjoyed the art so much because of Kenneth's ability to bring it to life. Kenneth is also very knowledgeable about WWII history and shared stories from both the perspective of collaboration and resistance. He was very funny as well and a wonderful guide. Patient too with us running into another shipmate who joined in too. I want to go back to Aalborg and spend a day with Kenneth. Do not miss the opportunity if you are there. This walking tour was the best ever! If you do nothing else take a tour with Kenneth.

Fantastisk spændende og interessant oplevelse, at se og høre om de mange flotte vægmalerier som pynter rundt omkring i byen. Oplevelsen blev krydret med hyggeligt besøg hos Henius. Under hele Touren supplerede Kenneth vores guide med historie fra det "gamle Aalborg" En helt igennem fantastisk oplevelse, og kan varmt anbefales.
