Hotels near Bodø Airport - BOO, Bodø

Such a wonderful place, we loved the area and the lack of commercialism. We enjoyed exploring the town and the aircraft museum. We hired a car and visited Mjelle Beach up the coast and the maelstrom which I would highly recommend.

The city does not offer anything special to see/experience. The seashore is packed with huge hotels and other building plus boats thus have to go out of the city to enjoy the senery. I believe most of the visitors use Bodo as transfer point to Lofoten. City is clean and has all the necessary services available. Airport just a few minutes from the center.

Bodø is a charming, very walkable city where lots has been done to make streets accessible for pedestrians and cyclists. The city center (~ from the inner harbor to around Bankgata) is small, with a nice mix of new and traditional architecture and building styles. The streets have trees and wide sidewalks. The main shopping street, Storgata, is very nice and has a wide variety of shops that culminate in the Glashuset interior shopping area with the Koch Shopping Center attached. I can recommend Nyholmen fort as a nice picnic spot with great view of the city - it's easy to reach it by bicycle. Also recommend the Jektefartsmuseum, which is about 4 km away from the city center. On my next visit, I would stay a day or so longer and maybe get a rental car one or two days, to be able to go to Kjerringøy. But would also rent a bike again, as well, since getting around Bodø on bike is super easy.

We were in Bodo for just two nights and didn't wish to rush around, so we enjoyed exploring the waterfront and harbour area, watching the boats and taking in some of the restaurants and bars there. We arrived by train and left by plane - it was just great to be able to walk to the airport, which is close to the centre of the town yet we weren't disturbed by any noise from it during our stay.

Bodo was a great place with loads to do. Unfortunately we couldn’t spend enough time but whatever little we spent- we explored the town in the night especially with the full daylight. In the morning we managed to complete the Keiservarden hike as well. Would have loved to spend more time and do the Salten area. Hopefully next time

The cosmopolitan atmosphere of this beautiful city on the North coast of Norway makes Bodø a must-see place. Located in the Arctic Circle, Bodø offers a great atmosphere of small-town living, with plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities, hiking, as well as concerts, shopping, and fine dining. Bodø Concert Hall, street shops, fine restaurants, and regular ferries to the Lofoten archipelago are some of the many local attractions available to visitors. The airport is located within 10-minute walk from the city center!
