Make sure to visit the authentic areas with tiny well preserved wooden houses at Bakklandet, the old bridge “Gamle Bybro” & the Nidaros Cathedral.

DAY 5

Ålesund

Ålesund is beautifully surrounded by fjords, islands & mountain peaks. You can visit the Atlanterhavsparken aquarium, take a local boat trip, hike up Mount Aksla, offering a wonderful view of Ålesund & the surroundings. After a devastating fire in 1904 which destroyed most of the old wooden buildings, the town was completely rebuilt. As a result, Ålesund’s architecture has a unique concentration of Art Nouveau – Jugendstyle.

Perhaps you will be lucky enough to see porpoises playing in the fjord.
