From the centre of town, one can take the frequent metro
bus 2 or the less frequent 12 to the University. They all run
beside Kroghstraede 3, a short walk from our building. Both buses start from Nytorv, the main
square in town, and pass close to Prinsen Hotel and Park Hotel. They can be picked up on the main road
near the railway/bus station just 200
metres from both of these hotels (make sure you are going the right
direction).
If you catch the bus 2 or 12, then ask the driver for the
Kroghstraede stop just before the junction with Frederik Bajers Vej.
All the bus trips cost 16 kronor. But you can buy a 10
trip 2-zone clip card that gives you a cheaper fare for ten trips
(including transfers). This should be bought in a kiosk (for example in
the railway station) for 104 kronor. If you are going to make more than 6 trips, it
is worth it. Just clip the card in the machine when you enter the
bus.
The key identifying landmark when you exit the bus is a new
two-storey building with a big black square cube attached to it (the
centre of the building over the atrium has a distinctive roof like the
wing of a plane). This is the new Humanities building, in which all
Centre activities take place.
The city bus company has online
timetables (in Danish!):
Metro bus
Line
2 - from Nytorv. Very frequent service during the day (roughly
every 5 to 10 minutes).
Ordinary bus
Line
12 - from Nytorv every 15 minutes.
Both buses run in the evening as well.
The main campus is relatively easy to find, but it is spread out.
After following Niels Bohr Vej, turn onto Frederik Bajers Vej - the site
is just off this major road. There is ample free parking right outside the building, marked
on map 2.
Once you have arrived at Aalborg Airport, you can take a taxi or
metro bus 2 to the city centre (and selected hotels). The trip takes only
20 minutes. The bus frequency is every 15 minutes (peak time), every
30 minutes (off-peak) and every hour (Sundays and holidays), and can
be picked up just outside the
main entrance. Incidentally, bus 2 continues through the centre of
town to the university campus (and stops outside our building). Taxis to the centre of Aalborg cost about
110 DKK, and about 180 DKK to the University.
