Introduction
Atlanterhavsparken, the Atlantic Sea-Park, sits by the sea on an old naval base site just 3.6 km from Alesund's centre — one of the world's most distinctive aquariums, pumping unfiltered seawater straight from the Atlantic for its animals. The star is the four-million-litre cod and halibut tank with an underwater tunnel, shoals of herring swirling overhead; diver-fed feeding shows are the daily highlight. Outdoors, otter islands, seal pools and Humboldt penguins hug the shoreline. Pair it with Alesund's Art Nouveau town centre and the Aksla viewpoint for a full and memorable day.
