BUS
For about eight weeks in peak summer (late June to late August) there is a

circuit takes in major sights such as the zoo, Kunsten and the waterfront.
Almost all city buses leave from south of JF Kennedys Plads and pass the city-centre
stops on Østerågade and Nytorv, near Burger King. The standard local bus fare is Dkr20;
buy tickets from the driver.
Information on tickets, routes and schedules is available at the helpful

CAR
Car-rental companies Hertz, Avis and Europcar have booths at the airport or in town.
Apart from a few one-way streets, Aalborg is easy to travel around by car. There's free
(but time-restricted) parking along many side streets, and metered parking in the city
centre. There are also several large commercial car parks, including at Ved Stranden 11
(opposite the Radisson hotel), at Kennedy Arkaden (enter from Østre Allé), and under the
Friis shopping centre (enter from Nyhavnsgade). These aren't cheap (up to Dkr18 per
hour, maximum Dkr160 for a 24-hour period).
