Sightseeing
Famous for its magnificently preserved Art Nouveau architecture, the city of Ålesund is one of Norway's most popular tourist destinations. Not only is it blessed with one of those picture-perfect Norwegian settings – it's surrounded by fjords and the high peaks of the Sunnmøre Alps – but it has also benefited from the addition of many new cultural and entertainment attractions.
Byproducts of the incredible increase in wealth the nation has experienced in recent years, this combination of natural splendor and a rich cultural heritage undeniably make Ålesund one of the best places to visit in Norway for an authentic and memorable Scandinavian vacation. Straddling the islands of Nørvøy and Aspøy, Ålesund is also the most important fishing harbor in Norway, and serves as a great jumping-off point for boat tours, fjord cruises, and fishing adventures.
Ålesund's architectural splendor is the result of a massive fire in 1904 that destroyed 800 of the town's old timber houses. Determined that it wouldn't happen again, town officials took measures to rebuild the city in stone, brick, and plaster, a task given to the country's top master builders and architects. This forward thinking led to the construction of more than 320 Art Nouveau buildings in a compact central area, in the process creating Europe's most complete Art Nouveau cityscape.
