The local experience
Saltstraumen is a strait near Bodø where water moves between the fjord and the sea with the changing tide. The experience consists of watching the movement from the shore or joining a guided activity on the water.
The Norwegian Aviation Museum is located in Bodø, next to the airport area. The collections present the country’s civil and military aviation, with aircraft and exhibits that help explain the role of flights in linking regions separated by mountains and sea.
The Jektefartsmuseet presents the coastal trade that linked northern Norway with other ports. The museum is located in Bodøsjøen and centers on a jekt-type vessel used to transport goods along the coast.
Kjerringøy handelssted preserves an old trading post on the coast north of Bodø. The group of wooden buildings shows how a place organized buying, selling, storage and domestic life around maritime routes.
