Welcome to the land of the midnight sun

Yes It is true. In Bodø the sun never sets. Bodø Is located above the arctic circle, and therefore, in summer you can see the sun all night. This gives you the opportunity to see an amazing sight when visiting Bodø in a period of approximately June 4 to July 8. The midnight sun attracts thousands of visitors to Bodø each summer. Just take a look at these pictures and you will see why.

One of the biggest draws to Bodø is the amazing natural beauty that surrounds the city.  Bodø lies just north of the Arctic Circle and is nestled among beautiful mountains and Norwegian fjords. With the world's strongest maelstrom, in Salstrømmen, (an area where the tidal currents produce powerful whirlpools), the famously picturesque Lofoten Islands and the glacier Svartisen located in near proximity, Bodø truly possesses some of Norway's most stunning nature.
