Bodo - Magic light and strong currents

"Going to Kjerringøy on the first june day" - yes maybe that's exactly what to do? Halvdan Sivertsen was so excited when he came out that it resulted in the famous song "Kjerringøy".

Bodø is the largest city in Nordland. Here you will find many beautiful places of worship and places to go out, and the most popular place to go out is the top of the mountain Veten in Bodø municipality - also known as Keiservarden. The mountain rises 366 meters above sea level and is known for its fantastic views of the Lofoten Wall, among other places. The Imperial Guard is named after Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany who visited the mountain top on July 16, 1889.

In Bodø you will also find the Norwegian Aviation Museum - a great experience for both young and old. And if it's a kid, it's so important to note that Pelle Politibil comes from Bodø ... Pelle is usually outside the police station in Bodø.
