Ålesund is a bit out of the way for potential tourists, but it is one of the most beautiful cities in Norway.
Everything small is beautiful, and that goes double for Ålesund, which sits peacefully on three islands in the middle of the Norwegian fjords.
Although the town was completely destroyed by fire in the early 20th century, its present-day appearance is charming in every way. The Art Nouveau style can be admired at every turn, as many new buildings have been erected in Ålesund in the Art Nouveau style.
The breathtaking views from the many hills in and around the town invite short and long walks, and the numerous bays, fjords and seas are perfect for boating.
