In the center it easy to walk by foot. To go further, there's a good public bus system (16dkk for 1.5h if you pay cash, ~110dkk for 10 rides clip-card). The buses don't go at night, and taxi is very expensive.

Police has auctions once per month, you can ask about them in the police station.

• Jomfru Ane Gade is a short street with 30 restaurants/bars. Drinks are cheap and the bars are open late. You will see signs advertising 10 DKK drinks and 10pm-12pm happy hour.

• Fedtebroedet: a real underground place in Aalborg. Very good music in this hippie bar where local bands play often and where you can always grab a guitar and jam with other costumers. The place is full of "different" people... let's say its the complete opposite of the above-mentioned Jomfru Ane Gade.
