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.

Norwegian Aviation Museum

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.

Kjerringoy Trading Post

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.

Saltstraumen

Reviewed By NinalittleLo - Tel Aviv, Israel

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..

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.
