Known as the "capital of roses" because its mild climate allows pretty flowers to flourish, Molde (pronounced "Mol-da") is also known for its annual July jazz festival, which has attracted artists such as Branford Marsalis, Chick Corea and Joss Stone in the past.
With a population of roughly 26,000, Molde boasts a Gothic-style cathedral, a variety of shops and cafes and the Romsdal Museum, which showcases historical dwellings and gives visitors a taste of life in the Romsdal region of yesteryear. The open-air attraction, a 15-minute walk from the port, is considered one of Norway's better folklore museums and features buildings and interesting interiors as well as staff dressed in traditional costume.
