Check out exiting museums, marvel at the world’s strongest maelstrom Saltstraumen, travel back in time in Norway’s best-preserved seaside trading post at Kjerringøy, and hike the Børvasstindan mountain range. Not only is the city a major transport hub – Bodø is also an interesting place to explore in itself. The Coastal Route continues across the Arctic Circle into the region of Salten, and all the way to Bodø. Bring your bike on the local ferries and go island hopping between small islands like Træna, Lovund, and Myken – no car needed. Follow the Kystriksveien Coastal Route, rated as one of the most beautiful road trips in the world, to secret white beach coves, small towns like Brønnøysund and Mosjøen, and wonderful hikes in mountain ranges like De syv søstre and Okstindan.

The southernmost part of Northern Norway is called Helgeland and is situated just below the Arctic Circle. When you plan your midnight sun adventure, think of Northern Norway as divided into six main areas as you travel north. During the summer months, you can experience up to 24 hours of sunlight above the Arctic Circle, which means more time to enjoy the sights and make new discoveries.
