10 Tours in Alesund That You Shouldn't Miss

August 20, 2021 Hana Mouser

Perched at the top of Norway’s Western Fjord country, picture-perfect Alesund is spread over several islands stretching into the Atlantic, with the spectacular Sunnmøre Mountains as a backdrop. If its natural beauty doesn’t grab you, its architecture surely will: After an early 20th-century fire destroyed much of the town, Alesund was rebuilt in absolute Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) glory. Learn the history at Aalesunds Museum, or visit one of the world’s largest aquariums, the Atlanterhavsparken.

Do not miss the chance to get acquainted with the most beautiful city of the Norwegian Kingdom. Our Amazing city walk feels more like a friendly promenade: • “... there was no street under your feet 50 years ago as these buildings were surrounded by water, like in Venice…. • ... this beautiful area of Norwegian Venice was specially designed for fishermen. Take a closer look, those hokes still remain as a reminder of the tough times. Let's go and discover what's inside those houses nowadays... • “…If you do not except the challenge to climb 418 steps to the very top of Axla mountain, then follow me, I will show you one view point where you can admire the city from a bird’s eye view…” As we walk, chat and laugh, you discover this phoenix city, which rose from the ashes and today surprises us with flowers on the facades, encourages you to praise its beauty left and right.

Inclusions: Smart pretty guide will show you old city on unique route

Took this tour while on cruise. Roads had turned snowy and the Troll road was closed off. We went as far as we could then our guide took us a different way and we saw a lot of Viking things not on the tour. She did her best to make up for weather disappointment t. Enjoyable day and tour.

Amazing day trip! Local Trips was great and as I was the only one signed up I got a private tour! Covid times led the sights and locations to not be over crowded which pretty fantastic. My guide, Trond, was wonderful and we went at my pace. Super worth it, could not be happier with this trip.

I really can't say I've got to grips with Norway after my recent Covid secure trip there up the ffjirds on a cruise ship with other sufferers of my particular condition. One small issue is it's always said that all Norwegians speak English but I definitely met several who hadn't a clue what I was talking about when ordering pork chops on one of our excursions inland to Innlanden so that aspect was disappointing. Also I learned that a Smurfasbord is a kind of buffet similar to the English buffet but with fewer items from the yellow food groups such as our much loved crisps and cheese. Mr Gudmunjohansennn the ships croupier talked me through it in impeccable Norwegian so I had to deduce what he was saying from his admirable skill at pointing at things and either smiling or frowning. Was glad to get home to Sharon and normality.
