With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Alesund, 45 miles away, has to offer. Alesund Ferry Terminal, Alesund Church and Alesund Museum alone make the drive out worth it. The locals will also likely point you toward Stranda, 60 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Hellesylt Beach. (But we’d also highly recommend Dalsnibba and Norsk Fjordsenter.)
