General presentation
Ålesund et Sunnmøre
Art Nouveau architecture, Sunnmøre islands and Alps surround a reconstructed harbour facing the Atlantic.
Art Nouveau Centre of Ålesund, Atlanterhavsparken and Sunnmøre Museum give the most telling landmarks of Ålesund and Sunnmøre. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage, coastline and mountain reliefs meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.
