Aalborg Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Aalborg airport is about 6 km from the city centre, a distance that makes the transfer less decisive when choosing a hotel than at other airports in this guide. The most convenient stretch is around the station and Jomfru Ane Gade, the pedestrian heart of town with Denmark's best-known nightlife street, while travellers after a cheaper or quieter base can stay one step back, towards the railway station.

Jomfru Ane Gade and the riverfront

City centre · About 6 km from the airport: city bus in 20-25 minutes, taxi in 10-15 minutes.

Best for: Travellers who want the pedestrian centre and the nightlife of Jomfru Ane Gade a short walk from their room.

Pros

Jomfru Ane Gade, Denmark's best-known nightlife street, a few minutes' walk away
Railway station within walking distance, useful for getting around the rest of Denmark too

Cons

Rooms with a view of the Limfjord cost more than in the station area
On weekends the Jomfru Ane Gade area stays noisy until late

Some rooms overlook busy through-roads near the station
