Join a small, personal group for an intimate walking tour of Ålesund. Learn how the clipfish trade shaped the city’s growth, and see how its stunning location between fjords, sea, and mountains gives it a unique maritime character.

Along the serene waterfront, we’ll talk about some of Norway’s remarkable engineering feats : floating bridges, submerged road tunnels, and the world’s first full-scale ship tunnel. We’ll also touch on how the country’s oil and gas industry helps fund these impressive projects.

Next, we turn our attention to Ålesund’s Art Nouveau architecture, reconstructed after the devastating fire of 1904. King’s Street boasts the city’s highest concentration of these ornate, symbolic buildings, showcasing both optimism and international influences.
