Must-see attractions

Atlanterhavsparken

　　At the peninsula's western extreme, 3km from the town centre, this aquarium can consume a whole day. Be introduced to the North Atlantic's teeming undersea world and the astonishing richness of coastal and fjord life. Children can dangle a line for crabs or feed the fish in the touch pool,...

Sunnmøre Museum

Ship-lovers will savour the collection of around 40 historic boats, including replicas of Viking-era ships and...

Even if you're not...

　　The furthest offshore island from Ålesund, Godøy has a real off-the-map feeling, especially in the depths of winter. There are some great walks here, and the island's lighthouse at Alnes has served as an important sailors' mark for centuries. You can climb to the top for wonderful views across the...

　　The 1861 Holmbua warehouse (one of the very few buildings to survive the 1904 fire) has exhibits on the development of fishing across the centuries and special sections on klippfisk (salted cod) production and the processing of cod-liver oil. Its entrance area recreates an old grocery shop, a delight in...

Alnes Lighthouse

　　This picturesque 1853 lighthouse is in the fishing station of Alnes. For that end-of-the-world feeling, climb to the circular balcony via the five floors of this all-wood structure. Each displays the canvases of Norwegian artist and Godøy resident Ørnulf Opdahl. 　　There's also a cafe and an exhibition space in the...
