Details about this scheduled guided day tour:
From the meeting point the bus will take you through several underwater tunnels to reach the first destination, the Island of Giske. This island is relatively flat and very fertile. You will find many farms and grazing cows and sheep. Giske is known as the birthplace of the famous Viking Rollo, who was the first Duke of Normandy and an ancestor of the British Royal Family. A photo stop will be made at the marble church, built in the 12th century. The excursion continues to the beautiful island of Godøy and its typical fishing village Alnes. Here you can enjoy an amazing view over the Atlantic Ocean, visit the lighthouse or go for a stroll on the beach.
After visiting the beautiful islands, you will be taken several centuries back in time to the years where most Norwegians lived a hard life, often were very poor and lived from agriculture and fishing. You will learn all about it at the Sunnmøre Museum. Our guide will lead you through the open-air part of the museum where 55 old houses are located. Some are open, meaning you can take a peek inside. Several exhibitions can be visited inside the main building and in the boat house you will learn even more about how life in this part of Norway changed over the centuries.
The excursion continues to Storhaugen viewpoint, from where you can enjoy the spectacular view over the city and its surrounding islands. After driving down the house-mountain, the bus will take you through the city center. The town has an unusually consistent architecture; Art Nouveau. Most of these colourful houses and buildings have been built between 1904 and 1907, after the fire which destroyed over 800 houses in the city center in January 1904.

Ålesund, norway: an art nouveau walk in a fairytale town.
Ålesund , a fishing town and port on Norway’s west coast, has a distinctive architectural style borne out of devastation.
On a stormy night in January 1904, a fire raged through the town, destroying 850 houses and leaving 10,000 people homeless. Mercifully, only one person perished.
In just four years, a frantic reconstruction project replaced the charred wooden buildings with those built in an Art Nouveau style with a local folkloric twist. The result is a collection of stone and brick buildings with a myriad of turrets, spires and medieval ornamentation, including intertwined animal and human faces, dragons and elaborate flowers.
Let’s explore all these buildings and more on this self-guided Ålesund Art Nouveau walking tour .
The walk is around 1 mile and is a perfect way to spend a day in Ålesund if you are visiting this beautiful town on a Norway fjords cruise.

Walking Tour Map of Ålesund, Norway
To help you on your way, here’s a map of this Ålesund Art Nouveau walking tour. Click here or on the map to send to your phone to follow the walking route and get directions.
Art Nouveau Walking Tour of Ålesund, Norway
Climb the 418 steps to the top of aksla hill for a panoramic view of ålesund.
This self-guided Ålesund Art Nouveau walking tour starts at the town’s park.
Developed in 1885 and modelled on an English park landscape, curiously Byparken has a monkey puzzle tree amongst its copper beech trees. Pride of place is given to a large statue of Rollo, a Viking chieftain who was born in Ålesund and established the dukedom in Normandy in 911.
A hundred meters from Rollo, a set of 418 steps snake their way to the top of Aksla Hill .
The number of steps is significant. Each step represents a day, and the normal turnaround for a case sent to the City Hall in Ålesund is 418 days. Before the steps’ renovation in 2015, the stairs were built mainly by Lego but visitors couldn’t stop themselves from taking home bits as souvenirs!
The views from the summit are well worth the climb.
Ålesund has a superb setting, built on three islands stretching into the sea, with the Sunnmore Alps as a backdrop. On a clear day, you can see right out to the coast and the islands beyond.
Explore Ålesund’s Art Nouveau buildings along Kongens Gate
Leaving the park, walk back down the steep, cobbled streets towards the next stop on our Ålesund Art Nouveau walk, Kongens Gate .
This street has a rich concentration of Art Nouveau buildings, each one with individual flourishes. Take a look at #21, 25 and 28 for example.
Number 21 is festooned with Norwegian dragons and the masts of #25 are inspired by Norway’s stave churches. Stylistically, number 28 screams central European Art Nouveau.
Further along Kongens Gate, look out for 53 steps spiralling their way up to Lihaugatta. Just across the street, The Paper Boy , a sculpture donated by the newspaper Sunnmorsposten in 1998, makes his final delivery.
Wander along Ålesundet to Hellebroa
At the end of Kongens Gate, turn right and follow St Olavs Pass, walking south along Ålesundet , the narrow stretch of water that separates two of the town’s islands, until you reach the Hellebroa .
This bridge is a great spot to capture images of Ålesund’s pastel-painted buildings reflected in the water.
Just over the bridge, stop to look at the two sculptures in front of you.
The first is The Boy Fisherman , symbolising all the optimism of youth and hope for the future.
Adjacent to it is The Herring Wife, a tribute to those women who worked at salting herring, which was one of the town’s main industries.
Visit Ålesund’s old town pharmacy
Across the street from these statues is Apotekergata 16 , one of Ålesund’s signature Art Nouveau buildings.
Built as a chemist’s shop and private residence, it was later restored externally but only partially restored internally. Consequently, the chemist’s shop area remains intact. As a registered pharmacist, it held a nerdy appeal for me!
The pharmacy only shut for business in 2001 and the building now houses Ålesund’s Art Nouveau Centre .
Visit the spiritual centre of Ålesund, Norway
Head north on Apotekergata and turn left onto Kirkegata to reach the town’s handsome stone church, the last stop on this Ålesund Art Nouveau walk.
Consecrated in 1909, Ålesund Kirke is built in an imposing Norman style and is renowned for its frescoes and stained glass windows. Well worth a peek inside.
Now, make your way back to the town centre for a refreshing Norwegian beer or a more potent Aquavit. You deserve it!
Bonus Sights in Ålesund: Molovegan and Fisheries Museum
If you have time, make your way to Molovegen at the entrance to Ålesund’s harbour. Simply retrace your steps along Kirkegarten, into Apoterkergata and follow the road left into Molovegen.
The Molovegen is home to the handful of wooden houses that survived the 1904 fire and gives us a glimpse of what Ålesund would have looked like until the start of the 20th Century. Don’t miss taking a short stroll along the mole, the harbour breakwater, for great views back to Molovegen.
Time permitting, visit the Fisheries Museum at Molovegen 10. Open June – August; between September and May by appointment only.
How I Visited Ålesund on a Norway Fjords Cruise
Ålesund was the third port in my week-long cruise along Norway’s fjords .
- Cruise operator: P&O
- Cruise ship: HMV Britannia
- Time in port : 8 am – 5pm
As the cruise ship docked in the centre of town, it was super easy to reach the centre from the terminal. Ålesund is a small town and easy to get around on foot.
I spent most of my time in port exploring the town on this walking tour.
Enjoy Ålesund’s Art Nouveau Architecture

A picturesque walking tour of alesund, norway highlights.
As Norway’s most beautiful village, Alesund is best experienced on a walking tour. Exploring this gem on an archipelago of 7 islands is like strolling through a picture book. Overall, Alesund Norway highlights are surrounded by fjords, mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, Alesund is the gateway to Norway’s most famous fjord, Geirangerfjord. I enjoyed my own solo walking tour and love sharing tips. So, read on to discover the highlights and how to enjoy this port tour-free.
Alesund Norway Highlights – Marvelous Art Noveau Architecture
Alesund’s Art Noveau architecture arose from the ashes of the devastating fire of 1904. Even more, this rare display of exquisite design in the middle of Norway gives you a strange sense of feeling out of place, in a good way.
Since almost the entire town burned, it was rebuilt in the popular architecture style of the times known as Art Noveau. For example, my photo above shows the Art Noveau Centre, located in central Alesund. Formerly a pharmacy, it now exhibits the town’s best- preserved Art Noveau style. Also, notice how this building and others reflect on the clear waters.
Photography Tips for Alesund
It’s best to arrive early by 8 am to begin photographing this stunning setting. I enjoyed taking photos of the beautiful reflections of the Art Deco buildings on the water canals. Because I started early, the lighting with minimal crowds inspired awesome shots.
Alesund of Norway Highlights – Mt. Aksla for Views
In Ålesund, the Town Mountain is a popular viewpoint at Mt. Aksla , rising to 118 m high. I walked the 418 steps up and down Mount Aksla for overall panoramic views of the town, archipelago and Sunmore Alps. Also, buses make the journey here as well.
At the top, Fjellstua is an outdoor viewing platform with restaurants. Even more, there are many hiking trails from here to connect with all the beautiful scenery.
Lighthouses of Alesund – Molja and Alnes
Within walking distance from the town centre is the charming little red lighthouse, Molja. For more than 150 years it served as a beacon for ships entering the Alesund Harbour. However, now it is not used as a lighthouse, but as a hotel room. Also, it has a ‘Love Room’ for newlyweds.
Additionally, the Alnes Lighthouse is about a 30-minute drive from Alesund on the island of Godøyfor. I did not make it there, but it’s evidently worth the drive away from the crowds.
Other Things to Do in Alesund (Great for a Rainy Day.)
Alesund has a Hop-on Hop-off Bus for those preferring a tour by vehicle. The Norwegian Aquarium is a fun marine menagerie with wildlife, such as, penguins, seals and otters. Other iconic cultural sites here include Sunmore Museum , Alesund Church and Art Noveau Centre. Also, consider exploring Alesund by Kayak and don’t miss the day trip nearby at Geirangerfjord!

This tour by fast-speed ferry and bus takes you from Ålesund via Hareid and Fosnavåg to the bird island of Runde. The island is a popular destination all year round, but is spectacular in the summer due to its teeming bird-life. Between 500,000 and 700,000 sea birds inhabit the island in the season, most of them in the cliffs. The island also offers great hiking. Worth noticing: The puffin-season is from mid April to early August. They are leaving every morning out to the sea to catch fish for their little ones, and return to Runde between 18-20 p.m. So the best time to see them is in the evening. Available all year around (see pictures for timetable) Departs from: Ålesund high-speed ferry terminal, Skateflukaia
