We start at the fisherman boy statue, a symbol of Ålesund's maritime history, and learn how the clipfish trade shaped the city.

Along the water we discover Norway's engineering : tunnels, bridges and the world's first full-format ship tunnel. I will also explain how Norway used its oil and gas assets for long-term prosperity.
