Ålesund Self-Guided Walking Tour (2026/2027 edition)
Regularly voted as one of the most beautiful cities in Norway, Ålesund is a charming art nouveau town built alongside a strait. Rebuilt in a uniform style after a major fire in 1904, the city attracted young architects who had been training in Germany to reconstruct the city. They used the fashion of the time – Jugendstil – and put Norwegian nationalistic motifs on the buildings. After all, Norway was on the verge of independence at the time.

Fantastic guide. Instructions were easy to follow, and the images included help verify that you’re looking at the right thing.
The historical overview is approachable and on occasion pretty darn funny.
Admittedly, Alesund isn’t the most interesting city out there… but most of us end up here as part of a trip around the fjords anyway. This guide likely made Alesund as interesting and engaging as it possibly could be.
