Ålesund (Norway)
The city and district by the 62nd latitude. The district is called Sunnmøre – which means the southernmost part of Møre, and refers to the days long past. The name is perhaps British – More – some historian says so. The district stretches from up in the mountains and down to the sea. The land falls in terraces to the town, and ends in the continental shelf with its hundreds of miles of rich fishing and oil grounds. The city centre was razed to the ground by a fire in 1904 and later rebuilt in the Art Nouveau, or Jugend, style combined with national and regional traditional features.

Molde (Norway)
Located on the northern shore of the Romsdalsfjord on the Romsdal Peninsula, Molde, also known as the Town of Roses, is famous for its spectacular panorama of the snow-clad peaks on the southern side of the fjord. In addition to being regional capital of Møre og Romsdal, and the commercial hub of Romsdal, the city also hosts the bishop of Møre.

Kristiansund (Norway)
The city borders islands/municipalities Smøla to the northeast, Tustna to the east, Frei[1] to the south, and Averøy to the SW. In the NW, there's nothing but the Norwegian Sea, besides the small island Grip. Kristiansund is built on four islands, where Nordlandet, is the largest, and the site of the local airport, Kvernberget. Gomalandet and Kirk(e), second and third in size, are considered separate "lands" (islands) even though they are connected. The smallest island is Innlandet. Kristiansund is one of the most densely populated cities of Norway.

Trondheim (Norway)
Trondheim is situated where the river Nidelva meets a large fjord, Trondheimsfjorden, and is the centre of the Trondheim Region. Trondheim was founded as Viking King Olav Tryggvason in 997 AD, and got the name Nidaros a short time after. In the beginning it was the seat of the King, and the first capital of Norway (until 1217). Trondheim became rapidly Norway’s centre of power. Due mostly to another king, Olav Haraldson, who fell at the battle of Stiklestad in 1030 AD. The king died, but lived on as a martyr and saint. The Nidaros Cathedral is built on the site of St. Olavs grave. It has been, and still is a popular pilgrimage site.
