The Story of Ålesund, Norway
Ålesund is a pearl of a city, built on islands guarding the entrance to the unspoilt Norwegian fjords and the World Heritage Site, Geiranger Fjord. The town mountain, Aksla, affords a breathtaking view of the diverse region's majestic mountains, ocean side ports, dramatic fjords and neighbouring islands.

Ålesund exhibits one of the largest concentrations of Art Nouveau architecture in Europe. After a catastrophic fire in 1904, the city was rebuilt in this distinctive style integrating turrets, spires and imaginative ornamentation. Ålesund boasts fascinating museums, a vibrant theatre and music scene, a large modern stadium and sports/exhibition hall and innovative restaurants. The picturesque Brosundet sound is lined with converted wharf buildings and is still visited by working fishing boats as well as pleasure craft and ferries. With 40,000 inhabitants, Ålesund is an administrative and cultural centre as well as an important business hub in Northern Europe.
