Molde, Norway
Additional Information:
- Class: Town
- Activities: If evaluating cruise destinations is like listening to live music, Molde is a remarkably smooth jazz performance with a spectacular stage backdrop. It lacks the intense, fairy-tale architectural "pop" of Ålesund or the steep, claustrophobic adrenaline of Geiranger. Instead, it offers a spacious, culturally rich, and incredibly scenic experience where the main attractions—the roses, the jazz, and the majestic 222-peak panorama—invite you to sit back and take in the view. - bus tours to the famous, twisting Trollstigen (Troll’s Path) mountain road, drive across the dramatic Atlantic Road (often called one of the most beautiful drives in the world), or hike up to the Varden viewpoint - home to the Romsdal Museum, an excellent open-air folk museum featuring traditional Norwegian buildings. Molde is also globally famous for its annual international Jazz Festival. - Known as the "Town of Roses" due to its lush public gardens and relatively mild climate, the town has several beautiful parks and cafes
