With its 35,000 inhabitants, the city of Viborg is one of Denmark’s oldest cities, dating back to 900 AD, as well as an important administrative centre.

Located in the middle of the Danish region of Jutland, and enthroned on the top of a ridge, the city enjoys a magnificent and varied view of nature and a ribbon of lakes.

Viborg is a member of the League of Historical and Accessible Cities (LHAC), a project established by the European Foundation Centre.

The main aim of the League of Historical and Accessible Cities is to improve the accessibility of historical towns promoting, at the same time, sustainable tourism development and the protection of cultural heritage.
