Welcome to Ålesund, one of Norway’s most beautiful towns. This trip offers you the opportunity to experience local nature and wildlife as we venture up a mountain and explore the local aquarium.
Start the excursion with a visit to the town’s mountain, Mount Aksla. This viewpoint offers a spectacular panorama of the town center, the archipelago, and the Sunnmøre Alps in the distance.
Snap a few photos before we continue to Atlanterhavsparken, one of Northern Europe’s largest and most unique saltwater aquariums. An architectural gem integrated into the shoreline, the aquarium offers an authentic experience where you can enjoy close encounters with some of the marine life that resides along the Norwegian coast.
Visit the open-air pool to see the friendly penguins and visit the aquarium’s science center. Savor a hot catfish cake at the café overlooking the ocean.
