Molde lies along the northern shore of the Romsdalsfjord in Møre og Romsdal, and its waterfront position has made it an important regional centre between fjord and mountains. Across the water rises the Romsdal Alps, the long mountain wall celebrated locally as the Molde Panorama. The town is often called Norway’s City of Roses, a reference to gardens encouraged by its relatively mild coastal climate. Molde was badly damaged during the German invasion in 1940, and much of its centre was rebuilt after the war. Each July, Moldejazz brings international and Norwegian performers to a festival founded in 1961. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Molde and Møre og Romsdal.
