Welcome to Bodø, the Arctic gateway to a multitude of magical and magnificent places!
Bodø is the capital of the County of Nordland. It is a modern and pulsating city surrounded by idyllic countryside. Its airport is an integral part of the city centre, so travellers will find everything they need right nearby.
Bodø and the surrounding area are packed with sights and attractions, inviting visitors to explore history, culture and cuisine. The region is also famous for its unspoiled landscapes, which feature white beaches, thousands of idyllic islands, sheltered fjords, numerous fishing rivers, towering mountains and national parks.
Saltstraumen is the strongest tidal current in the world, Svartisen is the largest glacier in Northern Scandinavia, and Kjerringøy Old Trading Post provided Knut Hamsun, the Nobel Laureate, with the inspiration for many of his books. Even though these and many other attractions draw thousands and thousands of visitors northwards every year, the area still remains pleasantly uncrowded.
Bodø provides unparalleled access to the whole county – by air, sea or road. From Bodø Airport, you can readily travel to every corner of the County of Nordland, as there are direct flights to 12 local airports. And if you choose to travel by sea with Hurtigruten , you will have the chance to admire one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.
Bodø is not exactly a paradise for sunbathing enthusiasts, however. It is part of "The Green Arctic", which means that you can experience all four seasons in a single day.
But when the weather is good – Bodø is a real gem. Come and experience 24 hours of daylight and the midnight sun in the summer, and the beauty of the Northern Lights in the winter months.
