To experience the beautiful city, you have to explore on foot. Due to the beautiful nature of Ålesund and the fantastic location between fjords, mountains and the sea, unlimited opportunities for an active holiday open up all year round. At the top of Ålesund town mountain, Aksla, can enjoy an incredibly beautiful view of the islands, the city centre and the Alps.

This tour of Alesund was interesting. The guide has personal knowledge and a connection to the area and a deep appreciation for the city. The meeting point was easy to find from the ship, simply follow the big green footprints painted on the pavement down the pier, under the roadway and out the other side. The meeting point was just across the road and was a ten-minute walk at best. Dress warmly if it is cloudy or cool as the wind blowing across the water makes it chilly. *If you are looking for something additional to do while in port after the walking tour, try the food tour.

We were on a cruise to the Norwegian fjords, and made other things in Ålesund. It is a super cozy town, with old nice houses. Definitely worth a visit.
Very knowledgeable

Our guide was personable and informative. She gave us so much information that we were able to go out on our own afterward and see exactly what she was teaching. Our teens were very engaged - and the candy treats sure helped. Ha

It was just my husband and I. Our last stop was in a shop that sold local native costumes. We learned a lot about them from both Mila, our guide, and the clerk in the shop. Quite memorable. Mila did a wonderful job telling us about the city and it's history during our delightful walk.

On a cold November morning, we took the walking tour with Myla. who was a friendly and knowledgable guide. The tour kicked off on time at 9.30am and was small with just 4 guests which gave us plenty of time to ask questions and take pictures. We took in many interesting sights and gained knowledge of the history and quirks within Alesund. The tour finished at the start point of the climb to Aksla viewpoint should you wish to do that (we did - awesome views!). Overall I would highly recommend this tour and the guide, it was fun and informative and greatly enhanced our appreciation of Alesund.
Excellent and informative tour of the town

Very easy meeting point within 5 minute walk of the cruise terminal. Really fun and informative tour with lots of historical and social facts along with access to a beautiful hotel and a shop selling traditional dress. Our guide Myla was wonderfully warm and friendly with excellent English and great recommendations for what we should do after the tour.

My husband and I had such a great experience doing this City Walk. Radmyla was knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about showing us what makes Ålesund the “best and prettiest city in Norway.” Her communication with us was excellent.
