Jugendstilsenteret is the Art Nouveau centre of Ålesund, the town rebuilt in that style after the fire of 1904. It occupies the former Swan Pharmacy, built in 1905–1907 to designs by Hagbarth Schytte-Berg, with its original pharmacy and apartment interiors, and with the neighbouring KUBE in the 1906 Norges Bank building it forms the county's art museum.
Ålesund Church is the parish church on the island of Aspøya in central Ålesund, built after the fire of 1904 destroyed its predecessor. Designed by Sverre Knudsen and consecrated in 1909, the long stone church is faced with about 2,000 square metres of marble and draws on medieval and Romanesque church building, with round-arched windows and a tower.
Aksla is the 189-metre hill that rises directly above central Ålesund on the island of Nørvøy. A stairway of 418 steps climbs from the town park to the Fjellstua viewpoint, also reached by road, which looks out over the town spread across its islands, the harbour, the outer islands and the mountains beyond; German bunkers from the occupation remain on the hill.
The Atlantic Sea-Park is a saltwater aquarium built into the shore at Tueneset, about 3.5 km west of central Ålesund, opened in its present building in 1998. Its tanks show life along the Norwegian coast, with fish feeding in the four-million-litre Atlantic tank, an outdoor seal bay opened in 2014, penguins and otters.
