- Photography is encouraged outdoors—capture the contrast of ancient stones and wide skies, especially at sunset.
Getting There
-
Walking
If starting in central Nørresundby, make your way northwards, passing local shops and cafés as you climb the gentle hill overlooking the fjord. Lindholm Høje sits atop the highest ridge in sight, offering a prominent and easily visible landmark for orientation. The museum entrance is reached after a scenic ~15–20 minute walk, culminating in sweeping views over the water.
-
Public Transport
Buses regularly depart from Aalborg’s central station area, crossing the Limfjord bridge into Nørresundby. Alight at stops near the hillside or museum area; the ride typically takes 10–15 minutes (single fares range from DKK 22–28 for adults). From the bus stop, the museum is an easy 5–10 minute walk, well-marked by signs and the outline of the burial field.
-
Taxi
Taxis from Aalborg or Nørresundby centers reach Lindholm Høje within 8–12 minutes, depending on traffic. Expect fares in the range of DKK 90–130. The drop-off point is close to the entrance; limited parking space is also available for those arriving by car.
-
Driving/Parking
Free parking is provided on-site beside the museum, but spaces fill quickly during weekends and peak holiday periods. The approach lane is clearly signposted from the main road network and the burial mounds are visible long before you arrive.
