BODØ: Bodø is known for its spectacular scenery and strong contrasts. You can experience the midnight sun to dazzling magical northern light on a bright sky. There are activities such as sea safari along the world´s most beautiful coast, and ski paradise in the borderland. This is a city with urban and vibrant city live contrasting with peaceful and rural areas. You will always live fresh in Bodø!

CITY LIFE

Bodø is both urban and rural at the same time. It is vibrant and young and homely at the same time. You can choose to go to hip clubs, concerts all year long, exhibitions, cinema and cafes. It you are a more of a nature person, there are countless hiking places and areas to choose from, you can go fishing and pick barriers just a stone´s throw from the city.

Bodø consists of beautiful scenery, with extraordinary mountains, green forests and ocean and lakes. And the connections to beautiful places worth going to, like Kjerringøy, Skjerstad and Lofoten, are organized and good.

The program for Nordland Musikkfestuke is very variated, in fact it can remind me of something like how the program that “Grendehuset in Bjørvika”  (Oslo) is put together, but in Bodø opera and ballet is missing.

In addition to all the variations of modern entertaining musik it too have a strong classical nerve in the program, this year with visit of:

Dark and cool winters, bright and warm summers; the seasons truly affect the people up north.
