The Norwegian port town of Aalesund is located on the country's west coast. It's not only the setting for some especially beautiful architecture in this part of Scandinavia but also boasts some equally stunning natural sights, with the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord just a short drive away and the Sunnmore Alps providing the perfect backdrop for some hiking or just admiring the unique view. Hire a car in Aalesund and you'll be given the opportunity to get out and enjoy these stunning surroundings, as well as to visit each of the town's best tourist attractions.
A visit to the national Jugendstilsenteret will tell you all you need to know about Aalesund's fascination with the Art Nouveau style which tastefully adorns a great deal of the town's architecture. Opened in 2003, it doubles as a gallery exhibiting the finest Art Nouveau pieces from around the world. With your Aalesund car rental it's also possible to visit the interconnecting islands; we definitely recommend a visit to Alnes Lighthouse - just half an hour's drive from Aalesund it's an amazing structure where you can even indulge in some arts and crafts, with spectacular views to boot.
