Getting to Aalborg

By Air – Aalborg has a domestic airport with frequent flights to
Copenhagen airport, a major international
hub, throughout the day, and with connections to Billund airport, a
smaller near-by international airport. In addition, Aalborg has a few
international connections. For plane schedules and reservations, see Aalborg Lufthavn.
After each air arrival, an airport bus departs for the city center and
the train station. The transportation time is ca. 20 minutes, and the
price is DKK 25.
In addition, taxis depart from right outside the airport building. If you

Getting Around in Aalborg
 |
Public Transportation – Aalborg has a very nicely developed bus
network. To reach us, you may take the yellow busses with the numbers 1,
2, 4, and 9, in the direction of Universitetet. Bus numbers 1,
4, and 9 stop right outside our building. Bus number 2 stops a 100 meters
from the university. The busses stop frequently throughout town, but
busses are easiest to catch at the train station (numbers 2 and
4), and from downtown (around Nytorv; numbers 1, 2, and 4).
The price of a ticket from downtown to our location costs DKK 12, and the
ride takes perhaps 20 minutes.

Taxi – Taxis are rather expensive in Denmark, but will get you
anywhere fast. The drivers speak at least some English and have a very
good knowledge of the area.
A trip...

and takes ca. 10 minutes,
from the airport to our department is ca. DKK 160 and
takes ca. 20-25 minutes, and

120 and takes ca. 15 minutes.

Information About Aalborg
 |
Hotels – The Aalborg Tourist Board and Convention Bureau's
homepage offers information on
hotels in Aalborg. The hotels are generally very nice. Scandic Hotel is
within walking distance of us. We often use Park Hotel: it is a nice
hotel that is conveniently located across from the train station close to
downtown, and it perhaps offers the best value.
