Bodø open air museum
Various traditional house styles from Bodø.
Bodø domkirke
Modern with a separate bell-tower and a beautiful window.
Bodin Church
One of the oldest churches in Norway, built around 1240.
The Bodø summit
You have not really seen Bodø without a visit to Keiservarden. From the summit, you have a wonderful view towards Bodø, towards the surrounding islands and, if the weather is good enough, towards the Lofoten. There are several paths, all relatively easy. Count 1h hiking (one way) from the bottom, plus an additional 30 minutes (one way) from the city centre.
Strong tide current in Saltstraumen. The world's strongest maelstrom (tidal whirlpool), with some of the best fishing in the world. International fishing competitions are often held there, and there are possibilities of renting fishing gear or staying at the camping place. A must-see if you are in the region.
