Molde

Molde

Molde enjoys, as a beautiful backdrop, the mighty range of the snow-capped Romsdal Mountains. These peaks provide for an unusually temperate climate, in fact mild enough to have earned Molde the title of "City of Roses." This climate, warmed by the distant Gulf Stream, also accounts for Molde's popularity as a tourist destination for the last 100 years. Apart from this gorgeous setting, Molde offers attractive parks and gardens.

Attractions

In town, favorite attractions include the 1960s Town Hall and the Molde Cathedral which was constructed in the 1950s. Some famous former citizens of Molde include the Norwegian dramatist, Henrik Ibsen. He was considered probably the country's most influential figure in modern theater. Bjornstjerne Bjornsone was also a citizen of Molde. Though most famous in Scandinavia, this Norwegian writer is revered around the world as the seminal figure of 19th-century Norwegian literature. Your day ashore should be quite delightful. Have your cameras at the ready.

Shopping

The best shopping can be found in the town center, some 300 meters from the pier. You'll find merchants offering local handicrafts, pewter, and typical enamel items.

Food

As with all destinations in Fjordland, you'll find menus that feature seafood including Norwegian salmon. Open-face sandwiches are very popular, especially for picnic baskets. Summer berries are also a tasty treat.

Currency

The local currency is the Norwegian Krone (NOK).
