Welcome to Ålesund, one of Norway’s most beautiful towns. This trip will offer you a two-fold opportunity to experience the local nature and wildlife as we venture up a mountain and explore the local aquarium.
Start the excursion with a visit to the town’s mountain, Mount Aksla. This viewpoint offers a spectacular panorama of the town centre, the archipelago, and the Sunnmøre Alps in the distance.
Capture some photos before we continue to Atlanterhavsparken, one of Northern Europe’s largest and most unique saltwater aquariums. An architectural gem integrated into the shoreline, the aquarium offers an authentic experience where you can enjoy close encounters with some of the marine life that resides along the Norwegian coast.
Visit the open-air pool to see the friendly penguins and call in at the science centre. Savour the taste of hot catfish cake at the café overlooking the ocean.
