In my visits to Bodø I always run up to Keiservarden. Excellent view of city and nature around. Can choose to access by gravel or forrest/sherpa Trail. Easy access to further mountaina from here. Highly recommended.

It was worth all the money! I was extremely lucky with weather this day, since sun was shining and it was very refreshing to speed drive the catamaran who took us to the largest underwater current in the whole World! We saw sea eagles and some stone and rock formation that I have nevwr seen elsewhere. If I should describe it, it look like Mother earth's blood viens! It is possible to do this in winter to, but with bus, but Im pretth sure is coolest with a boat like me and my colleagues did..
3. Mjelle

“You have to have been there to understand,” sings the local troubadour, Terje Nilsen, describing Mjelle in a song. In the summer, many excursions end at Mjelle, both weekends and weekdays. You don’t have to be a child to collect shells or build sand castles, or to enjoy a good ball game. Bring firewood and cooking equipment if you want to barbecue.

The tourist association and county council have invested loads into making bodømarka an accessible and pleasant place for hikers of all ages and levels of fitness. The landscape views are breathtaking. Lots of paved and graveled trails, benches, even dog poo bags are provided. Bodø is a good place for low threshold hiking.

You must go there to see for yourself. This is a library with a view over the harbour in Bodø, a town in North Norway with over 50 000 inhabitants. I don`t think noone have such a wonderful prospect. It`s pieacfully to sit and read a newspaper og just relex. It`s lots of space. There is also a cafè in the building. And maybe you are lucky to see small exhibitions like paintings made of young pupils, or art made of older students. Sometimes there is readings for kids, sometimes dancing and plays. The building where the library are, is only 5 years old. Last time I visited the library, was at "Kulturnatt 2019", where I watch many ballettdancers showing several dancers from their upcoming christmasshow "Nøtteknekkeren". Nice :)

Bodo cathedral was completed in 1956. A 12 metre stained glass window, 10 tapestries from Nordland, and a rose window decorate the beautiful interior. The cathedral is built as a basilica in the Gothic style. It was designed by the architects Blakstad & Munthe Kaas and was one of the first churches in Norway to have a detached steeple. Free admission.

This is an imposing building with a separate tower, in a town that has little else to offer. The interior is impressive and the stained glass is beautiful.

After Bodo was bombed during World War II, the Germans built a fortress at Bremnes to guard the approach by sea to Bodo. The adjoining areas are excellent for fishing and hillwalking. A walk up the path to the top of Bremnes is rewarded by a -magnificent view of the scenic island of Landegode. On clear days you can enjoy the midnight sun from 2 June to 10 July.
