In reply to Steven Hether. Yes - I read about the bonfire every year! Hoping for a trip next year to see the St. Hans celebration👍 I was born in Ålesund, moved to Canada in 1968 for 3 years and have lived in California since 1971. Time to check out my roots 😉

I’m surprised there is no mention of the worlds largest bonfire lit in Alesund around this time of year. Saw it in 2017 with my 2 sisters and 2 nieces. It’s quite spectacular.

In reply to Paul. I recommend visiting Racoon Coffee in the walking street for a great cup of coffee and locally baked cinnamon buns and svele. Affordable lunch options and very friendly English speaking baristas who are happy to help with any questions about Ålesund!

I love Alesund! On a trip on autumn I climbed the 400+ steps. While there I watched a group of a dozen or so young children herded by only 3 adults climbing to the top. Then a bride and groom with their photographer climbed for pictures from the top!

A fun part of my visit to Alesund was watching a wedding when the bride and groom left in an bright red old Plymouth convertible.

In reply to Sheila. May 2019 my wife & I flew from Minneapolis to Reykjavik, spent a couple days there, including a bus trip to see geysers, waterfalls, etc. Beautiful! Then flew to Stockholm for 2 days, Then a train to Oslo, in time for Constitution Day. Then to Bergen to see the fjords. Fantastic trip!!!

I love your article. My trip was cancelled because of Corona V. I would like like to travel to Iceland after visiting the fjords. Do advise. Sheila

Interesting article, was in Ålesund in August 2019 for 10 days of trip. It was fantastic city and been to Aksla mountain, tasted waffels with brown cheese, enjoy the view from the mountain restaurant. Visited to miracle house where i came to know the history of Ålesund city. One of the beautiful city in Norway.
