tourist attraction · Ålesund 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.
