Leisurely Highlights of Ålesund

Ride through the elegant Art Nouveau centre of Ålesund, along the Borgundfjord, and soak up breathtaking vistas of the ocean and snow-capped peaks. In the Sunnmøre Open-Air Museum, which lies in the beautiful natural surroundings of Borgund, you’ll feel as though you’re stepping back in time as you wander around the 50 striking houses on display. Enjoy an absorbing insight into the colourful lives of the inhabitants that stretch back several thousand years. There’s also a huge collection of boats and replica Viking ships, along with exhibitions on archaeology and culture. On the return journey, a drive around the lovely Art Nouveau town will introduce you to Ålesund’s highlights and the surrounding Islands Giske Church.
