Bodø by light
With its dramatic surroundings and ever-changing light, Bodø is a sought-after holiday destination for photographers and nature lovers alike.
Bodø is situated on a peninsula in the middle of Nordland county’s beautiful coastline and has good light conditions all year round, even during the darkest months. From dark blue via shimmering gold to deep pink – the ever-changing light has become a favourite subject for photographers from all over the world. It is easy to get to Bodø and around.
The northern lights can be seen on dark, clear evenings from September to April. You can spot it from the pier in the harbour or from one of the city’s rooftop bars, but for the best northern light experience, go to Rønvikfjellet mountain just a few kilometres outside the city centre or take an organized bus tour to a more desolated area.
The famous archipelago of Lofoten
The wild nature of the Lofoten Islands is just as beautiful in winter as the rest of the year, especially when the northern lights come out at night. Every outing in the region is framed by rugged mountain tops that rise straight from the sea.
Lyngenfjord: naturally exciting
Get your northern lights experience in the Lyngenfjord region, an area blessed with dramatic landscapes and dry climates, the ideal viewing conditions for the aurora borealis.
The backbone of the Lyngenfjord region is the beautiful 82 kilometre long Lyngenfjord, which is surrounded by blue glaciers, deep ravines, and the peaks of the Lyngsalpene mountain rage, some of which rise up to 1,833 metres.
Scenic views and several options for adventure and relaxation make the region an important base for visitors and aurora spectators alike. Getting to the area is easier than you might think.
