Distinguished by its numerous spires, towers and highly detailed ornamentation, Ålesund is a town renowned across the world for its beautiful Art Nouveau architecture.

This is largely due to the devastating fire of 1904, following which the entire town was rebuilt in the then fashionable Art Nouveau style. The guide will take you
on a very pleasant walk through the streets of this enchanting town.

Along the way you will pass the picturesque fishing port
of Brosundet, the special Apotekertorget square, and the beautifully decorated main street. We will also visit Jugendstilsenteret, which is the national centre for Art Nouveau. The museum offers everything from modern
multimedia presentations to original interiors, and provides a fascinating insight into the history of Art Nouveau.
