Ålesund with children: Strawberry houses and angel visits

Ålesund with children: Strawberry houses and angel visits
This family's experience:

Activities: We explored Ålesund with the children. We walked around the city center, which reminded us a bit of Scotland because of the stone buildings. We also visited a small park and the Aksla-Berg

Highlights: The city has a very un-Norwegian look, which was interesting. We enjoyed the Jugendstil architecture and the views from the park and Aksla-Berg. "Da Ålesund on several small islands lies, which are all connected by bridges with each other, we can look out to sea in several directions." ✨
