Discover Ålesund’s Art Nouveau gems and vibrant brewing scene on this guided walking tour.
Stroll through Ålesund’s colourful streets and find out why the architecture here is so striking
Explore Brosundet harbour, where fishermen still sell their catch directly from their boats
Taste a selection of beer in a small, local brewery
This walking tour takes you close to the spires, turrets and ornamental facades that line Ålesund’s streets, bringing the story of its remarkable reconstruction to life.
On a winter's night in 1904, a devastating fire left 10,000 people homeless and razed the centre of Ålesund to the ground. Within three years, the entire town had been rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style – and the result is one of Norway's most distinctive and beautiful urban landscapes.
You'll also visit Brosundet harbour, where fishermen still sell their catch directly from their boats – a living reminder of the maritime traditions that have shaped this town for centuries.
The tour ends at a local brewery with a tasting selection of beers brewed in the region – showcasing why small, local breweries are so popular in Norway.
