The city of Aalborg welcomes you!

Aalborg is a city that boasts with interesting modern architecture, picturesque cobbled-streets, a park of singing trees that has been visited by everyone from Elton John to Bryan Adams, countless murals by international graffiti-artists, and much more. It is a uniquely Danish city with much to offer in terms of sights, sounds, and delicacies.

Weather

August is on the tail-end of summer, and the weather should still be nice. But this being Denmark, you can expect wind and rain throughout the year (so pack accordingly!). While hopefully there will be a sunny day to enjoy the waterfront during the conference, just as likely it might be cold and cloudy.

By air

Aalborg has its own airport, located about 6km north of the city. It has plenty of direct connections to Copenhagen, London, Amsterdam, and Oslo.

A taxi from the airport to the city center should cost around 100dkk. However, taking one of the frequently running busses directly to the city center is much cheaper at around 22dkk.

For more affordable alternative, you can also fly into Copenhagen, Billund, or even Hamburg, Germany, and take a bus or train to Aalborg from there.

Car rental

Renting a car is not necessary to get around in Aalborg, as the city is relatively small. If you are staying outside of the city, it might be convenient, or if you want to extend your trip by drive out to see more of Northern Denmark.

There are car-rental services such as Hertz, Avis, and Europcar at the Aalborg airport, as well as in the city itself.

Bicycle

As you are in Denmark, a proud bicycle-nation, you might want to rent a bicycle to get around. The city is mostly level, making it effortless to get around. However, make sure that the weather will be suitable before committing to riding a bicycle.
