About Ålesund

Ålesund, located on Norway’s western coast, is one of the country’s most beautiful towns. Famous for its distinctive Art Nouveau architecture, the town was rebuilt after a fire in 1904, resulting in colourful buildings that now line its charming harbour. Surrounded by islands and fjords, Ålesund offers breathtaking views, winding streets, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere.
