In the center it's easy to walk by foot. To go further, there is a good public bus system and you can purchase a ticked from the bus driver; the standard tickets costs 20 Kr and allows you to travel within two zones (for example from city center (zone 1) to any other surrounding zone) within one hour. Taxis are very expensive.
The best way is still to get around by bicycle and you can rent one close to tourist information office. There is also a city bike scheme (doesn't work during the winter time, though) where you may borrow a bicycle from any of the 20 city bike stands shown on this [url=http://www.aalborgbycyklen.dk/default.aspx?m=2&i=37]map[/url]; you'll need to make a 20 Kr deposit to unlock the bicycle and you get the coin back when you return it to any of the bike stands. For longer stays, a better option is buying one. Police has auctions once per month, you can ask about them in the police station (the auction is held in Danish, so it's better to come with someone who speaks this language).
Nørresundby is north of the big bridge.
