Perched at the top of Norway’s Western Fjord country, picture-perfect Alesund is spread over several islands stretching into the Atlantic, with the spectacular Sunnmore Mountains as a backdrop.
While in port in Alesund, see the entire Norwegian city all at once on this convenient hop-on hop-off tour. Visit the Sunnmore Museum, the Art Nouveau Center, Alesund Church and more while learning about the sights from the onboard commentary, available in multiple languages. Enjoy stunning views of the surrounding ocean, fjords and the Sunnmore Alps from Fjellstua, and hop off at any of the 10 stops around the city to sightsee on your own by foot. Because your ticket is valid for 24 hours from the time of first use, you have time to explore this breathtaking seaside city at your own pace.

Soak up picturesque views of the Sunnmore Alps and the surrounding fjords — Norway’s long, narrow inlets with steep sides created by glacial erosion.
I really liked in Alesund. Such a small town, surrounded by many islands. I love cities, towns, townships, villages … all these houses, bridges, windows, streets …
In the city there are mountain trails!
This is a wonderful natural route leading up to the mini-ridge, with both sides offering views of the island … We did not want to leave. It was a wonderful weather. It was so warm and I ran barefoot on the soft grass on top of a hill.
And my favorite thing in Alesund – sunset. We were upstairs and watched the slowly rising there are more and more people: photographers, lovers, tourists, local. All join into groups of 2-4 people, and fled to different benches rocks and hills. And all staring in the same direction – the sun is slowly sinking down. Boats on the water swimming, drawing interesting shapes.
When the sun set over the horizon all at once very quickly dispersed, and we were only two of us.
I have long dreamed of this scenery . And now it was mine.
