Ålesund: 1-Day Hop-On Hop-Off Sightseeing Bus GrayLine - Art Nouveau in Motion: What You See From the Bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 795 reviews · 1 day · from $49Our pick

A one-day Hop-On Hop-Off GrayLine bus in Ålesund with multilingual audio, Art Nouveau sights, and easy access to Aksla viewpoints and the aquarium.

“It was a rainy day so the hop on hop off bus was a great option to see the city. If you don’t mind climbing stairs, stop 4 is a must for amazing views of the city. Nice place to eat at the top and then either catch the bus at #3 or take the stairs back down to catch the bus. We actually walked back to our ship from that point. It was a nice walk, even in the rain.”

“The tour was a Spanish speaking tour as well as English. We had no idea and the guide spent more time talking in Spanish and said everything twice. We left at the first stop and just chose to walk around ourselves and not take this tour. We wasted over 600.00 and should have chosen to do something else. Unless you need a Spanish speaking guide don’t choose this for your day in Norway.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 172 reviews · 5 hours · from $115

A 5-hour Hjørundfjord cruise from Ålesund on the vintage MS Bruvik, with an hour in Øye and big Sunnmøre Alps views.

“This was a beautiful boat ride to see the Hjorundafjord and stunning scenery ending up in Oye for 30 minutes. There was no guide, but it was a quarter of the price of the ship trip, and it was 4h30 rather than 3 hours. It appears there was also an option to get the bus to Oye and board the ship for a one way journey, which I didn't see when booking online, and would have been a nice option too.”

From Ålesund, go to Trollstigen early with fjord and waterfall stops, then see the Troll Wall area, cruise-timed for return.

“Our guide was very knowledgeable and learned a lot about Norway. The weather was perfect, sunny and cool. We stopped at Gudbrandsjuvet where there is a nice waterfall and a great photo opportunity. I highly recommend to use the bathroom facilities here because the ones at the Trollstigen Plateau are not as good. We were hoping that we would be able to get some strawberries at Valldal, but apparently in mid-May when we went, they were not ripe yet. My recommendation would be to put a note in your "what to expect" to say when the strawberries would be in season. The Trollstigen Road was still closed when we went,…”
