As you stroll through Ålesund’s colourful streets, brimming with quirky turrets, dragons and fun floral details, your guide will bring the Art Nouveau architecture to life. Hear stories of the town’s amazing comeback after the fire in 1904, and walk along pretty Brosundet harbour to see the iconic Jugend-style houses. Watch the short film, ‘The Year in Ålesund’, for a taste of local life and the magical architecture. Then try Storfjord Iskrem’s unique brown cheese ice cream – a delicious Norwegian treat! Afterwards, head back to the ship or walk up to Mount Aksla Park for stunning views over town and fjord.
