What to expect

Alesund was always going to be a looker because of its location amid islands and fjords. But it went for the grand slam after a fire destroyed it a century ago. From the ashes, a phoenix of art nouveau building sarose – making it one of Norway's prettiest towns. This guided walking tour will show you all its best bits.

Your walking tour kicks off with a stroll trough the city centre. Learn all about the 1904 fire that ravaged through Alesund, destroying hundreds of homes. In their place, sprung up a collection of buildings with towers, turrets and façades decorated with motifs such as faces and flowers.

Get the lowdown on the ornaments and their meaning as you wander through the compact old town. Almost every street is a work of art framed by mountains and the sea. Make sure to keep your ear to the ground, as at the end of the tour, there's a quiz with a prize of tasty Norwegian chocolates awaiting.
