How to get there
Transport – How to get here
Aalborg Airport – Your Gateway to Northern Denmark
Aalborg is easily accessible via its own airport, located just 10 minutes from the city centre. Once in the city centre, most hotels and venues are within walking distance, with convenient access to bicycles and public transport.
Situated in Northern Denmark, Aalborg serves as the capital of the region and is well-connected internationally.
Airport Transfer
Upon arrival at Aalborg Airport, you're just a short journey from the city centre:
- Taxis are available directly outside the terminal. A ride to the city centre costs approximately 24-40 EUR, depending on your hotel's location. Most taxis accept major credit cards.
- Buses depart from the airport to downtown Aalborg. Bus number 12 (destination: Universitet) leaves several times each hour and reaches the city centre in about 10 minutes.
- Trains offer a new connection from the airport to the city centre, departing once every hour and taking only 10 minutes.
Train Travel
An alternative way to reach Aalborg is by train. Direct trains run from Copenhagen to Aalborg, with a travel time of approximately 4-5 hours. Tickets can be purchased through various providers, and it's advisable to book in advance for the best prices.
The train station is centrally located in Aalborg, with hotels and venues accessible by local bus, taxi, or on foot.
Bus Services
Aalborg is also accessible by bus from most Danish cities and select international locations.
The bus station is conveniently situated next to the train station in the city centre.
Getting Around Aalborg
Aalborg is a compact city that's easy to navigate on foot. However, it also boasts an efficient public transport system.
Public Transport
Local buses operate regularly throughout the city and to surrounding areas. A single ticket costs approximately 24 DKK per trip and can be purchased directly from the bus driver. Alternatively, tickets can be bought via the Rejsebillet app. Note that buses do not accept credit cards or foreign currency. For savings, consider purchasing a 24- or 72-hour Travel Pass online. To plan your journey, use Rejseplanen.
Taxis
Taxis are readily available in Aalborg. You can order one via phone, online, or through the apps.
Car Rental
While not necessary for getting around the city due to its size, renting a car can be convenient if you're staying outside Aalborg or wish to explore more of Northern Denmark. Car rental services such as Hertz, AVIS, and Europcar are available at Aalborg Airport and within the city.
Currency
The Danish krone is the official currency of Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. The currency sign is “kr.” and the ISO code is “DKK”.
You can check the current currency rates on this website. There are no restrictions on the amount of currency you are allowed to import or export, but anything over €10,000 (approximately 75,000kr) must be declared.

Denmark is part of the Schengen agreement, which eliminated border passport control between Schengen countries in Europe. This means you no longer need to stop or show your passport when travelling between Denmark and Germany or Denmark and Sweden. You must still have your passport with you, however, when travelling in Schengen countries as a form of identification.
Following Brexit, UK citizens can travel to any country in the Schengen area, including Denmark, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa.
Border openings post-corona are subject to change. You can find out about entry requirements in place on our Safe Travel in Denmark pageWhat to see in Aalborg
