About Ålesund

per from Finland wrote about Ålesund 4 years, 5 months ago

An art-noveau Venice of the north, surrounded by sea and snow-capped mountains! Rebuilt after a major fire in 1905, the center of town is quite uniformly art-noveau, but these colourful buildings rising more or less out of the water! The trip from the airport - on an island of its own - is stunning!
