Alesund
Ålesund is a port town on the west coast of Norway, at the entrance to the Geirangerfjord. It’s known for the art nouveau architectural style in which most of the town was rebuilt after a fire in 1904, as documented at the Jugendstilsenteret museum.

Museum
History Museums
Sunnmøre Museum is an open-air museum located in Sunnmøre, Norway that showcases historic homes and period boats from medieval times to present. The museum offers exhibits on people's history, houses, and objects from the local region, providing visitors with a glimpse into life several hundreds of years ago. Set amidst a beautiful natural landscape, the museum also offers recreational opportunities for those who are not interested in museums.
This place is really nice and peaceful. You should totally visit and see those old buildings. It'll give you a good glimpse into the history of Ålesund. It's like a big open-air museum. My wife and I had a great time taking cute pictures there on a bright sunny day.

Lovely place. We spent around 1.5 hours walking around the outside area. Accessible by car/bus, ~15-20 mins from Ålesund city center.
Living History in a Lovely and Peaceful Setting
To visit Sunnmore Open-Air Museum you’ll need to make your way up to charming Alesund, a worthwhile stop for many reasons! The museum boasts a truly wonderful presentation of Norwegian history, and was to us much more enjoyable than the thorough but somewhat overwhelming Folk Museum in Oslo. The grounds at Sunnmore are meticulously kept.
The strategic layout of the historic buildings plus thoughtful landscaping takes full advantage of the sun and lakes, offering endless back-lit, dreamy Norwegian vistas from every angle. The nearby mountains were still snow-capped during our visit, adding to the folktale atmosphere. Be sure to walk over to the church, but be respectful that this is a cemetery still in use.
Note: there is handicapped parking close to the museum. Alesund is easily reached by air from anywhere in Norway. Rent a car at the small and efficient airport and begin exploring. There are many fantastic towns like Andalsnes within easy driving distance of Alesund. This region is worth far more exploring than one stop on a cruise ship itinerary can ever give you.
I went in the weekdays and it’s really relaxing for leisure walk/ hike. The park itself doesn’t have much guide but the paths are clear enough to lead you to all the key areas. The exhibits/ houses well displayed and demonstrated how the Norwegian live in the past. Quite an interesting place to explore.
Excellent museum with information in English as well as Norwegian. Massive area. You could spend half a day easily.
Nice. We were there after 17:00...but could walk outside and still enjoy it. Cosy place with good info about object. With busstop near entrance
Excellent museum demonstrating life in Alesund Norway with a recreation of houses and buildings along with a wonderful boat museum including Viking longboats. We came on an excursion from the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship and it was very informative and enjoyable.
Beautiful outdoor museum. Very cute little houses, you can see how people lived there. A lot of interesting history of Norwegian life. There is an exhibition of small and large boats. You can easily spend an hour or two there walking outside, watching the lake and flowers.

Fascinating place well worth the fee
I eneter3d through the art exhibition and was confused but found my way to the Art Nouveau furniture after a while.
I loved all of it. Do not miss this gem .
There is asoi a cafe, but I didn't get a chance to try that
Small, but very nicely organized museum, in a historic building with interesting collection of Art Nouveau objects and temporary exhibitions. My favorite were all of the interactive experiences, telling visually with the old photos and videos and narrated by currently lived people the story of the fire in 1904, what it meant for the country and how the town was rebuild. Another interesting narrated experience is about the Art Nouveau in general, what did it mean for Europe, why it happened and how it effected social structures of the society. It was the only thing which works on Sunday, plus it’s a nice place to spend couple of hours in a rainy day.
Spotted this a a possible thing to do on a cold snowy Sunday when we only had a few hours in Ålesund. It is a delightful little museum some lovely enamelartifacts, furniture and other examples, including some printing examples of the Art Nouveau including bound volumes of Ibsen. There is a delightful time capsule with one of the clips being Nixon shouting "I'm not a crook" very amusing when considering current politics.
The retelling of rhe city's fire is so close to home as Los Angeles burns on the other side of the world.
It is worth a visit!
A lovely museum. Lots of beautiful exhibits. Helpful staff. Norwegian buns in the cafe are scrummy!
A well presented museum of art nouveau and the history of the fire in Alessund.
Charming museum with an impressive collection of art nouveau objects/history. Worth a visit.
Very interesting museum. Well worth a visit when you are in Alesund.

Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Nestled along the stunning Norwegian coastline, the Atlantic Sea-Park, or Atlanterhavsparken, is a must-visit destination for anyone intrigued by marine life. This modern aquarium specializes in cold-water species native to the region and features captivating displays of local sea creatures such as fish, seals, and playful penguins. The park not only highlights the beauty of life beneath the waves but also offers an immersive experience that educates visitors about oceanic ecosystems.
Visited this place whilst on our cruise. Easy access via concrete paths with wheelchair wide doors. Everything here is easy for wheelchair users and buggies. Payment by cash or card. Welcome with a smile and helpful advice. Also good disabled parking at the front door. All floors are solid and easy gradients to navigate. There is so much information at this place to take in. The fish tanks were all clear and clean and very easy to see the fish etc. Outside there were the penguins and the otter tanks which were a delight to see. There was also a massive tank with seals in. Inside was a lovely cafe with a choice of very tasty cakes and sandwiches. It was spotless to and nice and airy. The toilets were very clean and access to the Disabled toilet was on the flat and very good access with big doors.

Atlantic Sea-Park is an incredible experience! The aquariums are beautifully designed and give you a close-up view of Norway’s fascinating marine life. The outdoor areas are stunning, with seals, penguins, and otters in spacious natural settings. Everything feels well-organized, family-friendly, and educational — perfect for kids and adults alike. The staff are knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do. A must-visit if you’re anywhere near Ålesund!
A Great Aquarium
We were taken to the Aquarium as part of a tour from the cruise ship. It was a lovely sunny day and there is plenty to see outside as well as inside. They have otters, seals and penguins (lovely!) and the keeper did a great talk about the otters in English.
In fact all the staff spoke very good English. There are some great views outside as well. Plenty for children to do both inside and outside so a good place to visit as a family. Inside there are various sized glass tanks and a viewing tunnel where you can see the fish etc. There is also a large open top tank where you can look over and watch the various sea life. Lots of interactive activities for both children and adults.
There is a great cafe too which had lovely cakes and food! Again the staff here spoke very good English. There is a shop with various souvenirs etc. Good clean toilets. The Aquarium is well worth a visit and we would like to go again one day.
This is a great aquarium and a must visit if you are in the area. There are a variety of exhibits and you’ll learn so much about the sea creatures of Norway and beyond! We loved watching various fish swim freely through the large tanks and listening to their knowledgeable staff give presentations on the animals (they spoke in both Norwegian and English, great for us foreign visitors!). Watching the diver hand-feed a whole bunch of fish is their large tank was very impressive.
Best aquarium I’ve been to! Talks were educational and interesting, as well as super cute! Loved the otters and penguins, you can tell they’re really cared for. If you’re in the area please go and support this wonderful place, I wish we had this in the UK, I’d be there all the time!
Very well designed with lots of tanks to see the sea life and tons of interactive exhibits for the kids and adults to enjoy. Plus the Cafe was wonderful too!! Enjoy!!
Great Aquarium with lots of different ocean species to discover. Great place to visit if you're staying in Ålesund.
I had a fantastic time at Atlantic Sea-Park! The aquarium is well-organized, interactive, and beautifully located by the ocean. The variety of marine life is impressive, and the feeding shows were both fun and educational. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the outdoor area with the seals and penguins was a highlight for the whole family. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area – a great experience for all ages!

If you're planning a trip to Ålesund, make sure to include a visit to the stunning Fjellstua viewpoint in your itinerary. Perched atop Aksla mountain, this scenic spot offers breathtaking panoramic views of the charming archipelago adorned with colorful steep-roofed buildings. To reach this picturesque location, start your adventure at Byparken city park and tackle the 418 steps that lead you upward through lush greenery.
Nice clean quiet place
I arrived right after it opened.
Not much people, so it was quiet.
Beatiful view and the ham cheese bun was nice.
I would recommend to visit if you have time

Arrived by ship for the day, on a Sunday, so nothing open, but free to get into the viewing area. We walked up the slopes and 418 steps, but the town Road Train for tourists takes you up. Wrll worth it, great panoramic views.
So place was closed and had been for several months reading the feedbacks. Ok so a bit of a climb and when you get to the top the best view allegedly is from the cafe/restaurant. All closed so they charge NOK100 for the privilege ... Damn cheek really 😕 however some poor man paid and couldn't get through the barrier ... it's has been broken for ages yet they still STEAL the money 💰 and no view 😳. However walk up behind and the best place is marked a super view and nothing in the way ie ... trees bushes or large steel structure at the top.
Oh by the way if there's a cruise ship in port be prepared for a "Locust Swarm" vying for the best views 😢 and the worst trait as we found with cuise locust was jam blocking 🚫 the path up and down taking several hundred selfie's. Our miss fortune was that we had 2 bloody cruise ships MSC Euribia & MS Rotterdam with 10,473 passengers spoiling the view.
The views were amazing. We had a sandwich, slush and a beer. The service was great. If you consume too use the restroom. We had our sandwich on the upper terrace where the views are amazing but windy.
Unfortunately this place was closed when we arrived. The views were amazing, but I would think the views from the restaurant would have been even better. I really would have liked to try this restaurant.
We climbed the 418 steps up to Fjellstua and it was worth every step. The views are stunning from the platform of the restaurant. We just had some cake and coffee but should have planned it better because the restaurant and food were very inviting. But the views really are to die for.
The place is not very aesthetically pleasing and it feels a bit like a canteen but they have gluten free cake and the coffee is good :)
Cafe wasn't open , so this review is based purely on the views, which are spectacular . If walking, then it's 418 steps and a number of slopes. However, there is plenty of seating on the way up to catch your breath and then lose it again when you see the wonderous views. I believe the land train train which tours alesund does go up here, I'm not sure on other forms of local transport. One way or another do get here its beautiful

Mount Aksla is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Ålesund. This stunning summit offers breathtaking views of the town, its picturesque harbor, and the surrounding archipelago, all framed by the majestic Sunnmøre Alps in the background. The journey to the top involves climbing 418 steps, which begins at a charming pedestrian street near Byparken park.
A great hike to the top and amazing views once you arrive. Lots of opportunities to do some additional hiking and sightseeing in the nearby area.
Ron T — Google review
A total rip off. The whole point of visiting was for the view and the cafe. The cafe was closed ( we got there about 11.30 am on a Wednesday) and consequently no toilets so check to see if they cafe is open before you go. The view point was open but 100 NOK ( about £7.50) which is a complete rip off in my opinion as you can see just as much from the view points outside of the Building. The views are stunning but beware there are no toilets other than the ones in the cafe.
Very beautiful! There’s a free viewpoint just a few steps behind the paid one. The free viewpoint with a picnic table is perfect! A great activity with a stunning view of the city. There’s also a café where you can enjoy the view from indoors.
One of the the most beautiful towns we visited on our cruise. The trip to the mountains summit is a must with fantastic views. The land train has a really informative audio guide of the towns locations and history. There are some really interesting buildings and walks. The people are friendly and very helpful.
Well worth the 418 step climb to the top for the fabulous view of Alesund and beyond.
Beautiful view of the Alesund itself. You can roam around and get a great view from almost all directions.
Beautiful view of the city, it’s lovely and cozy!
Great views, very windy.

When visiting Alesund, make sure to take a leisurely walk along the harbor and Kongens Gate to appreciate the stunning art nouveau architecture. Don't miss out on a visit to the Art Nouveau Center for an immersive experience into the town's unique history, and indulge in their famous daily-baked chocolate cake. For panoramic views of Alesund, hike up to Aksla Viewpoint.
Though the menu at XL Diner ranges fairly widely, many, like us, will come for its bacalao/klippfisk specialities. We weren't disappointed. Describing the traditional klippfisk as bacalao reflects the punchy recipes inspired by Spanish, Portuguese and Italian dishes. The chef-patron told us that the fish used is the mighty Skrei - a large migratory cod, fished off the Lofoten Islands - which is salted and preserved in Ålesund and aged for two years before being rehydrated and cooked. The fish is excellent - moist, meaty flakes - and stands up well to the Mediterranean flavourings. We started with a nicely-decorated creamy fish soup. Service was excellent and welcoming. The house French white wine is a little bit dull, but there are interesting other choices, reasonably priced (for Norway!). A very enjoyable evening.

XL Diner came recommended by everyone and it did not disappoint. The location in atmosphere is wonderful. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. We had a great table by the window for a wonderful view while we had dinner. The food was first class. We finally got to try some Bagalou. We went with the Royal Bagalao with Saffron Mussels starter. Both were excellent!
Food was incredible and MASSIVE portions (sadly I still ate everything because it was too good to leave!) service was impeccable. We were over 3 hours late to our reservations and the restaurant was full and the chef still made space for us. The view is gorgeous too. While the prices aren’t necessarily cheap, it is a GREAT price for what you get, the quality of the food, the taste, and the view. I would highly recommend!
We dined there recently for dinner. Had a lovely time and food was excellent. Was quite busy (one table of over 18) so our waitress was distracted and service suffered a little. Definitely try if you’re in Alesund.
good food and good service! gets quite busy so would recommend making a reservation. staff was very attentive and also kind enough to let us order one royal bacalao set when it's usually meant for more! all were so tasty (maybe a tad too salty if i had to nitpick) and we loved the fish soup too
The restaurant was packed but I managed to get a seat. They treated me very well even though I was by myself. I wasn’t very into eating bacalao - I’m prejudiced when it comes to fish (wanting it fresh). But this is amazing! I’d totally eat it again. They changed my mind with regard to bacalao.
And the seafood soup is the best I’ve had in my life (i do not say this lightly - I eat all over the world making one big trip around the world each year and I take food seriously giving many sensational places 2/5). I will come back one day!
Nice place where you can taste good food in a beautiful environment.
The view is amazing, good music and good service
We’ve tried several plates and all of them were excellent.
Again, the codfish plate delivers in Ålesund. Competing with the portuguese Bacalhau in level, while standing firmly in Norwegian coastal food history, this is a dish to remember!

One word: wow! Absolutely recommended to dine here. Worth every single penny!
Great seasonal menu based on local ingredients. Cozy vibes and wonderful staff service. The food was super delicious with many creative combinations in each dish.
Reservation is required since it is busy.
Lovely spot overlooking the harbour, cancels highlight the atmosphere of this whole building which has separate areas for bar and restaurant. One of our best meals here, cabbage was amazing, best I’ve ever had. Others dishes slido good
You can't fault this place - absolutely amazing experience for us: the food was cooked to perfection, full of flavours and beatifully presented, the wines were great and the service was warm, welcoming and attentive but not disturbing.
The ambience is also nice, with dimmed lights and low noise level to comfortably talk.
I can easily recommend this for someone spending a few days in Ålesund and willing to have a pleasant and relaxing dining experience.
A restaurant that belongs to Brosundet hotel in Ålesund Norway. The chef knows its job. Any meal I had there was absolutely incredible. The flavors are so well balanced and the crayfish was the best prepared fish I’ve ever eaten in my life so far. I’ve tried crayfish and later red fish (on two occasions). Also, do not miss the cauliflower stake with bacon powder and truffles.
Great cuisine and wonderful staff equals a perfect culinary experience. Reservation is recommended, as walk-ins may expect limited time slots. Our waiter was very helpful, especially with the wine choice. It was the best restaurant we visited in Ålesund.
Visited here for the chef tasting menu and wine pairing. While I love trying new foods from other cultures, sometimes you can get scared by the names of the dishes or what is put in front of you. While this happened to me, I did try everything, and I cleaned every plate! The food was so good! The wines were all paired perfectly (I did not like the wine served with dessert but that's a me thing, I don't care of the bubbles). The king fish, served in brown butter and soy was amazing. The monk fish in a lobster bisque...wow. Lamb was amazing as was the light dessert that had rhubarb, white chocolate and the delicious foam made from yogurt and cheese. Sometimes you got to just say f**k it and trust the chef. I'm glad I did.
I had a light lunch with salads and traditional open-bread toasts outside in an existing floating platform over the channel/ fjord. The food was very good. Service was normal to slow, but efficient. The restaurant’s room inside is very unappealing and dark - nobody sit there. Maybe at night the atmosphere is different.

Zuuma is a top spot in Alesund for those seeking innovative sushi and Japanese cuisine. The restaurant takes traditional sushi to the next level with dishes like sashimi with pilgrim scallops, fried salmon and cream cheese maki, and lobster tail with foie gras mousse. While slightly pricey, the high-quality and freshness of the sushi make it worth it. Customers praise the delicious pork bao bun, shrimp tempura roll, and especially the duck dish.
Honestly ZUUMA was recommended to me by the hotel establishment I am staying at. I walked over and from the moment I walked in the staff were super friendly and I was greeted with a smile.
The server, host that welcomed me gladly helped me with a selection of three different sushi rolls as well as a Rice Sake that was delicious.
Then I moved on to a little dessert, she said they all were good but mentioned her favorite, which was the Green Tea Crème Brûlée .. unfortunately they wouldn’t have it until later in the evening which was fine so I chose the cheese cheesecake instead.
She a was sure to let me know that the grill wouldn’t open until 16h pm, so for this time around I wasn’t able to choose any grilled items but I assure you that if they are prepared with the care that the other items were, you wouldn’t be disappointed.
If you wondered why the for the grill was 4pm/16h it’s simply because they have two stations one sushi and then the grill, it’s like this everyday so after 16h if you know that you’d like something from the grill.
The second choice for desert was like I mentioned the cheesecake and this was absolutely delightful.
I highly recommend ZUUMA if you ever find yourself here in Ålesund Norway.

Zuuma in Ålesund offers a truly delightful sushi experience. The quality of the fish is top-notch—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The variety on the menu caters to both traditional sushi lovers and those looking for creative fusion rolls. The atmosphere is stylish and welcoming, and the service is attentive and friendly. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Ålesund, Zuuma is definitely worth a stop for some of the best sushi in town. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful dining experience at Zuuma, a must-visit spot for sushi lovers. The food was exceptionally fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully presented, almost like edible pieces of art. The atmosphere was cozy, and we really enjoyed pairing our meal with warm sake and a refreshing cherry juice.
One small downside is that the food takes a while to arrive. For locals or those with plenty of time, this is not an issue, but for cruise ship passengers with only a few hours to explore Ålesund, a faster service would make the experience even better.
I also highly recommend trying their salmon soup, which was delicious and perfectly balanced – a great complement to the sushi menu.
Overall, Zuuma is an excellent choice if you’re looking for authentic, fresh sushi served with elegance – truly a memorable culinary experience in Ålesund.
I really enjoyed the beautifully served sushi and the delicate desserts. Foods seems being made with great care and actually they tasted good. To be honest, I never expected to find good sushi in Alesund. However, the sake prices were quite shocking. A bottle that costs around €7 in Japan was being sold for €100 here. I understand that prices in Norway are generally high, but this difference felt a bit unreasonable.
Delicious sushi with the freshest fish you’ll have! They fit our family of 6 in without reservation but the place was packed! The portions were good size and everything we tried was delicious. The Japo roll everyone’s favorite! Would definitely recommend and we would love to come back on our next visit to Alesund!
Great sushi! I was recommended the rainbow roll and it was very fresh and delicious. The menu is very extensive and has a lot of non-fish options too, if fish isn't your thing.
I came to Åslund from Japan for sightseeing and stopped by Zuma. The staff were very friendly and the sushi was delicious. The miso soup was completely different from Japanese miso soup, but it's fine if you think of it as Norwegian miso soup.
Great dinner location off the water . Super fresh sushi and sashimi! We had ribs and pork boa bun too. Only regret was not ordering more haha. Nice servers. Fast service overall. I’m

So glad we stopped here for lunch. Had the most delicious hot sandwiches which were packed full of flavour. Wish we could have the same lunch options on our cruise ship. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Will seek this cafe out if we are ever visiting Alesund again.
Great menu Friendly staff and excellent coffee - short walk from cruise terminal - had pastrami toasted sandwich - delicious
Came here for lunch with my wife on our Norway trip. I had the chicken wrap and my wife had the salad with chicken. The wrap had a sauce that had a bit of a curry flavor to it but it was quite good. The salad was large and also thoroughly enjoyed! We would definitely eat here and again and recommend it.
Small deli with a quiet atmosphere perfect for lunch or an early afternoon snack. We split the Serrano & Manchego cold sandwich; the bread was soft and the sandwich flavorful. Staff was extremely friendly.
I'm a tourist off the cruise ship, and the coffee was terrible on board. I'm so happy we found this awesome place that does real coffee and cake! The service is outstanding
Best sandwich ever. The dessert was delicious as well. Recommend if you are in Alesund.
Found this little gem on our way back to the ship and decided to stop in for lunch. Great sandwiches, friendly employees and an excellent latte. Their pasta salads looked amazing, but didn’t get a chance to try any.

First meal in Alesund!! 5 course tasting menu was fantastic!! Salted cod was our least favorite but the clear soup base was amazing.

Our 7 course meal was a wonderful and delicious experience. We appreciate the informative staff of our courses and their local origin. The food and drink were exceptional! The evening sun at the windows gave a perfect atmosphere.
The menu here is seasonal and our expected dishes weren't available. They had instead a multi course meal, fixed price meal. We're generally an unadventurous family when it comes to food choices, but this was AMAZING!
Our server incredibly attentive and the chef, Jonathan was an artist. They all had such pride in each dish and not a single dish disappointed!
This was our best dining experience not just in Alesund, but to date. We highly recommend and whether you're an adventurous eater or not, trust the chef! Every course was art.
The best meal we had in Norway. A commitment to using local, fresh produce and seafood. Our server pointed out the boat from our window that had caught the langoustine we ate. We tried the tasting menu to get a bit of everything. Worth it. We loved the crab and salmon the most. The seared minke whale was an interesting dish. Like venison and liver. Our highest recommendation.
True culinary experience with a friendly and knowledgable staff!!! Thanks Marcelo and Silje and the magicians in the kitchen for a unforgettable evening! ☺️🫶
Seriously one of the best dining experiences of my life. Delicious and creative food explained very well by the wait staff. The chef went out of their way to modify my wifes plates to accomadate her corn and egg allergies. AMAZING!
Super location and cosy atmosphere. Food is very tasty and frest. High quality and good value for your money. Friendly and experienced staff.
My fish and chips, came beautifully plated looking unexpected. The fish itself was tasty, fresh and of good quality. It came pared with one of the best side of fries I’ve ever had, extremely crispy and creamy at once; spiced perfectly. Take the crispy fish and chips and combine them with the sweet pea mash and the sweet fennel, contrasted by the sour carrots. Accompanied by a dip, made up from mustard, mayonnaise, dill and pees (assumptions), that was just refreshing, perfectly balanced and tasteful. The fish soup was tasty, fruity and nicely balanced with spices. The bowl came filled with a lot of fish and mussels. Alongside the soup came a few pieces of crispy and moist bread, as the waiter described it - the fish soup was heavenly and the fish and chips were fantastic. The service was kind and accommodating, all spoke perfectly fine English and tried their best with the other customers who didn’t. The restaurant is peacefully located of the Main Street, inside the Harbour area. The modern design harmonized beautifully with the traditional surroundings; allowing you to lean back for a hour and to enjoy your meal. The price was fair.
