The route to it is of great beauty. The winding road connects islands with the typical Norwegian bridges. Runde can easily be combined with the town of Åndalsnes, with its beautiful location on several islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Ålesund is known for its Art Nouveau architecture. After the town was hit by a devastating fire in 1904, it was rebuilt in this style. For a majestic view of the town, the beautiful islets and the beautiful Alps of Sunnmøre, go to the Fjelltue and Kniven viewpoints on the city mountain Aksla.

The Byparken city park houses, among other things, a statue of the Viking Gange-Rolv who founded Normandy in the year 911.
