Ålesund - where the fjords and mountains meet the Atlantic ocean
Central in the beautiful region Northwest Norway, where the fjords and mountains meet the wild Atlantic ocean, you’ll find the beautiful harbor town Ålesund. Rated several times as Norway's most beautiful town, Ålesund is a top tourist attraction in Norway. Famous for the beautiful art-nouveau buildings which characterize the town, Ålesund has among Norway's most beautiful collection of art-nouveau style buildings. The art-nouveau buildings dates back to 1904, when a huge fire destroyed the town. Ålesund was rebuilt in the art-nouveau style, and now it counts among the most beautiful towns in Europe.
