The town of roses and 222 peaks
Molde lies on the Romsdalsfjord and is served by Molde Airport Årø plus ferry links across the fjord. Its waterfront offers a famous panorama of the Romsdal mountain range.
Molde grew as a trading and timber-export town from the 18th century and earned the nickname 'Town of Roses' for its mild gardens. Much of it was destroyed by bombing in 1940 and rebuilt afterward.
