The venue is Aalborg, which is a beautiful and lively city, steeped in history and rich in great experiences. With its magnificent location by the banks of the rolling Limfjord, Aalborg is the main city in the Danes' preferred holiday region, North Jutland. In addition, Aalborg is the largest conference centre in the Danish provinces and Aalborg Congress & Culture Centre is the site of a large number of congresses, meetings, exhibitions and cultural events.

The Vikings founded a settlement at the point where the Limfjord is narrowest, and through the years, the city developed into one of the busiest trading centres in the country. Trade and wealth set their mark on the city and many of the old buildings have been preserved as natural elements in the city scene.

Special mention must be made of Jens Bangs Stenhus, a five-storied, Renaissance structure dating from 1624, Jørgen Olufsen's Gård from 1616, and the lovely Aalborghus mansion from 1539. The 15th century cathedral, dedicated to the English St. Botolph, and known as "Budolfi Church" and Denmark's oldest social service institution, the Monastery of the Holy Ghost, dating from 1431, also bear witness to the history of a busy city.

The newest landmark is the Utzon Center on the harbour front that was officially opened by Jan Utzon in Jørn Utzon’s hometown of Aalborg in 2008. The aim is to further an understanding and appreciation of the work of the internationally acclaimed Danish architect Jørn Utzon and related themes, within the wider context of Nordic and International architecture and design.
