Lofoten is my dream destination. After 3 visits over the last 18 years, I still want to go back. Hiking, fishing, biking, kayak, restaurants and great location to stay the night either in a rorbu or a tent. Very diverse and great nature experiences all around. We had 8 days this time, that was not enough. You must account for some bad weather here so you need a few more days to do all you want.

Mount Ronvik. From the top of Mount Ronvik, there is a fine view of the mountainous Lofoten islands and the island of Landegode to the north, the Borvasstindene mountains to the south, as well as the town of Bodo. 164 m above sea level. Midnight sun: 2 June – 10 July. 3 km from Bodo. Driveable road. Bus no. 14 and 17 take you halfway to Mount Ronvik. Top 13. The bar of Radisson Blu Hotel Bodo offers a fine view of the Bodo peninsula, Landegode and the Borvasstindene mountains. The Tower at the Norwegian Aviation Museum. From the top of the old control tower at the Norwegian Aviation Museum you have a panorama view of much of the Bodo peninsula.

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.

As a French, seeing all those goats and cheese roaming free in Lofoten I was curious to find some locally made cheese after trying this famous brown sugary cheese. When arriving at the farm, it already felt very authentic and the cheese... just delicious. We tried the mixed cow and goat milk and pure goat milk. This place is a must go if you are passing by.

You should visit Bleik and if the weather is nice, stay, have a picnic, and maybe even go for a swim if you are the tough type!

Reviewed By Looking_for_charme - Bergen, Norway
Vegatrappa is a something which "every Norwegian tourist" want to climb and therefore may be crowded. But it is worth the climb and crowd. And even with many people around, it's no problem to do the climb. The view is spectacular. A stay with dinner at "Havhotellene" and a climb at Vegatrappa is a must!

Experience the thrilling history of aviation up close. Did you know that aviation played a major role in shaping Norway as a nation; it has influenced our people, our landscape and our way of life. See famous and even some infamous planes, including the Spitfire, Starfighter or faithful work horses and passenger aircraft, including the Ju52 and the Twin Otter. The Norwegian Aviation Museum is among the largest aviation museums in Europe. Our collections include more than 40 aircraft and helicopters.

The great "globe" marker of the Arctic Circle at this location on Vikingen Island off the west central coast of Norway is spectacular, both in design and construction as well as geographic significance. Hopefully you will enjoy my photo as we passed by on the excellent MS Nordlys "coastal steamer". All Recommended.
9. Kjerringoy Trading Post
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 160 reviews
A visit to northern Norway`s best preserved trading post is a journey back in time. Here you can feel the past, with "jektefart" and fish trading, Herring and the daily life in northern Norway coastal communities in the 19 century. Kjerringoy Trading Post is a unique example of coastal heritage set in magnificent scenery. It consists of 15 old buildings retaining many of their original contents. It is one of the country's most important collections of buildings from the nineteenth century. The beautiful slide-show "Anna Elisabeth of Kjerringoy" provides an excellent introduction to a visit. It lasts about 20 minutes. Guided tours are then available around the various yards and buildings. You can shop in the store ("Kramboden") or enjoy refreshments in Nyfjosen Cafe or in the garden. In the museumshop in Nyfjosen you can buy gifts and souvernirs, local design and crafts.
