Ålesund, Norway is a bustling port and a fascinating seaside town facing the Atlantic Ocean at the entrance to a region of outstanding natural beauty and some of Norway's most dramatic fjords. The town was recently voted the most beautiful in Norway and was totally rebuilt in Art Nouveau style, with a myriad of turrets, spires and medieval ornaments, after a devastating fire in 1904.
