Arriving at Ålesund Airport Vigra (AES)
Vigra Airport sits on an island north-west of town. The airport bus reaches the centre in around 25 minutes, travelling through undersea tunnels, and taxis are waiting outside arrivals.
Data tip: turn on AloOui as you land to pay for the airport bus on your phone and check in to your hotel on the way.
An Art Nouveau town by the sea
After a great fire in 1904, Ålesund was rebuilt in the Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) style, and its towers and turrets line the harbour today. Climb the 418 steps up Mount Aksla to the Fjellstua viewpoint for the famous view over the islands, and visit the Jugendstilsenteret and the Atlanterhavsparken aquarium.
Data tip: you'll want to share that Aksla view, so Unlimited Essential is a good choice for photo-heavy days.
Geirangerfjord and Trollstigen
Ålesund is the gateway to the Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with cruises and sightseeing boats in summer. The hairpin bends of Trollstigen and the Atlantic Ocean Road are classic road trips from here. Some mountain roads, including Trollstigen, open only in the summer months.
Data tip: check road status and ferry times on your phone before you set off, and download offline maps for the mountain passes.
Coastal cruises and the Hurtigruten
The Hurtigruten coastal ships call at Ålesund on their way along the Norwegian coast, and many cruise ships stop here in summer. Ferries and express boats link the nearby islands.
Data tip: coverage is good in the harbours and coastal towns and can be thinner out at sea, so save tickets before you board.

Ålesund eSIM FAQs
Does my eSIM work as soon as I land at Ålesund Airport?
Yes. Turn it on when you land and you connect to Telia Norge or ICE straight away.
Will it work at Geiranger and on Trollstigen?
Yes, in the villages and along the main roads. Coverage is thinner in remote mountain areas, so download offline maps first.

Unlimited Essential for 7 days ($20.83) covers maps, ferry times and photos. Choose Premium for 5 days ($40) for one big 30GB pool.
Can I use it on a Hurtigruten or fjord cruise?
Yes, near the coast and in port. Signal can drop further out at sea.
Does it include a Norwegian phone number?
