What you'll do
Upon arrival of your cruise, picked up by our guide at the port, identified with a sign.
Despite its northern location, the city of Molde enjoys a relatively mild climate due to the warm Atlantic Gulf Stream.
Molde has been rebuilt twice, first after a fire in 1916 and again after heavy bombardment during WWII.
Our pleasant sightseeing tour of this beautiful city begins with a tour of its oldest part of Molde.
We will also pass the City Hall, famous for its beautiful rose garden, by the Rosepiken, The Rose Maiden and the Jazzgutten (The Jazz Boy), before arriving at the Varden Lookout.
From here, at 407 meters above sea level (approx. 1,340 feet), there is a wonderful view of the city of Molde, the fiords and the islands in addition to its famous panorama with its 222 partially snow-covered peaks.
Our tour will continue through the spectacular Seilet Hotel and Aker Stadium before continuing to Harøyfjorden. From here, we will have a scenic view of Aukra, one of the largest gas suppliers in the city.
After that, we will go through another fiord called Malmefjorden and we will make a stop to take some photos. Finally, there will be time for a little break in Skarstua with its beautiful lake.
This area is an excellent starting point to experience the countryside, including nature trails, walking trails, jogging trails, and many lakes for fishing.
We will be able to take a walk through this beautiful nature before returning to Molde.
