Your adventure begins as you board your motorcoach at the pier and travel not only throughout the city, but back in time, getting to know this city that was completely rebuilt during the Art Nouveau period.

In 1904, the city's center was destroyed by a great fire. Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm led the relief effort, and the city was rebuilt in the German Art Nouveau style known as Jugendstil. You'll get to see some of these historic buildings as your route takes you down Kongensgata. Be sure to notice the elaborate turrets and spires. You'll also pass the impressive Ålesund Church, built in 1909, with a façade finished in natural stone.

Your final visit is to the neighbouring island of Hessa where you have a magnificent view of Ålesund from another direction. Before Midsummer you can see the ceremonial bonfire being built. Capture some last moments on your cameras before heading back to the ship.
