Our tours are designed as loops, so you can easily start the visit from whichever point is closest to you, and the guidance will automatically adjust. If you happen to be nearby, we recommend an ideal starting point: Apotekertorget square.

Parking Aksla, Kipervikgata 17. In Ålesund, several parking options are available depending on your needs. One of the most convenient is Aksla Parkering, a large underground parking garage in the city center. It is secure, paid, and open 24 hours a day, making it easy to leave your car and continue exploring the city on foot. Street parking is also possible, but it is regulated. Most spaces are paid during the week and often come with time limits, so it’s important to check the local signs carefully to avoid a fine.

In Norway, driving is strictly regulated. Speed limits are carefully enforced, headlights must remain on at all times, and fines for traffic violations can be quite high. Tolls operate automatically through license plate recognition, with no physical barriers. Local ferries usually do not require reservations: vehicles simply board in the order they arrive, and payment is often processed automatically using the license plate. It is also useful to know that payments are made almost entirely by card, as cash is rarely used. In summer, the days are very long, sometimes with more than eighteen hours of daylight depending on the latitude, while in winter daylight becomes very limited, especially in the north. Finally, the weather can change quickly, so it’s always a good idea to bring waterproof clothing, even in summer.
