Ålesund Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Vigra, the island where Ålesund airport is located, is linked to the mainland by a continuous underwater tunnel: the Flybussen (route FB65) reaches the centre in 15-25 minutes depending on traffic, against 25-30 minutes by taxi for the 20 km distance. In this guide the only verifiable chain hotel that's convenient for getting around is in central Ålesund, at the foot of the Aksla hill.

Central Ålesund

City centre · 15-25 minutes with the Flybussen FB65, which links the terminal to the centre through the underwater tunnel of Vigra; by taxi about 25-30 minutes for the 20 km distance.

Best for: Those who want Ålesund's Art Nouveau centre and the Hurtigruten ship port within walking distance of the hotel.

Pros

The Art Nouveau centre and the Hurtigruten ship terminal are a few minutes on foot
The city park, Byparken, is right next to the hotel

Cons

No verifiable chain hotel is really close to Vigra terminal: a stay in the airport area would require a car or taxi arranged in advance
The route from the terminal goes through an underwater tunnel, to be avoided on foot or by bike
