Activity itinerary

Hellebroa

  • 10m
We start at Storneskaia (the cruise ship pier) and walk from there across the Hellebroa bridge to Aspøya—perhaps Norway's most densely populated island. Here, you will hear the storey of the city fire, the Art Nouveau style, and some of the city's merchants. And maybe you will be introduced to some scents that were very common in Ålesund a century ago.

Aalesund Church

  • 10m
We stop outside the beautiful Ålesund church. The church was built between 1906-1909 and is decorated with Norwegian white, red and black marble.

Aspøy

  • 10m
We continue to the characteristic primary school, Aspøy, which dates back to 1921 and is still in use.

Brunholmgata

  • 10m
Behind Aspøy school we walk down Brunholmgata. From here, we enjoy the view north across the fjord to the islands where some of Norway's most powerful clans lived during the Viking Age. And in 1853 this was one of the sites in Norway where the first medical Cod Liver Oil was developed.

Brosundet i Alesund

  • 10m
We will stop at the town square by Brosundet/Ålesundet - with a splendid view at Brosundet/Ålesundet - the sound between Aspøya and Nørvøya. Here is the perfect spot for photos of Ålesundet.

Statute of Joachim Ronneberg

  • 10m
Joachim Rønneberg was in charge of maybe the most important field operation in Norway during the Second World War.

Skateflua

  • 10m
At Skateflukaia you will hear the storey of the North Sea travel to the Shetland Islands during the Second World War.

Kongens gate

  • 10m
In Kongens gate you can view the beautiful Art Nouveau buildings in this pedastrian street. Here you will find the narrowest house in Ålesund - and maybe even in Europe?

Delicatessen Løvenvold

  • 10m
We will end our tour at this shop where you will get two small tastings of Norwegian specialities.
