An Urban City on the Edge of Nature

You will not find a more impressive approach than the one you will see through the plane window prior to landing in Bodø. A vibrant city on the edge of the great outdoors, with fjords, mountains, glaciers, a stunning coastline, and clear coral green waters as far as the eye can see. Bodø is a compact city and a gateway to a unique assortment of wonderous arctic experiences.

The regional capital of Bodø is home to 50.000 people, living urban Arctic lives on the outskirts of Europe, but in the very centre of the resourceful and contrasting North.

With a location just north of the Arctic Circle, Bodø has a spectacular light throughout the year. During summer, the midnight sun intoxicates and captivates us all. In winter and autumn, you will see the mysterious blue that lights up the dark polar night, and the magical and alluring northern lights. This ever-changing environment has made Bodø a diverse and safe place – we like to think the cold climate gave us warmer hearts, and we take pride in welcoming newcomers.
