Ålesund is considered by many as one of Norway's most beautiful port towns with its colourful art nouveau architecture buildings set amidst an archipelago of fjords and mountains. Take a walk alongside the canal to watch the beautiful buildings with turrets and towers reflecting in the water.
This magical town invites visitors to enjoy an array of charismatic cafeterias, restaurants, shops, and galleries before exploring the Sunnmøre's countless fjords and climbing the 418 steps up Mount Aksala to be rewarded with panoramic views of Ålesund town, fjords, islands and mountains. The region is a natural playground with many activities to enjoy, like hiking, skiing, fishing and so much more.
