Visiting the ports of Skjolden & Alesund in Norway in 2020 as part of Aurora Norway Iceland Ireland cruise

 

Having never been to either port before? Does anyone have any recommendations

Alesund is lovely.

We hopped on the road train from right outside the dock.

It does a little tour with guidance then takes you to the top of the hill to a viewing point where you stop for a short while for a cup of tea and to take in the amazing views over the town.

Many walk up the gazillion steps... But not us.

 We just found it a very pleasant surprise as didn't expect much.

Have a great time.

We have been to Skjolden, we went to a llama farm where you get to pick a llama and take it for a walk, we booked it online before we went and the owner met us near the port and took us to the farm, we really enjoyed it.
