Kongensgate
Bodø's striking cathedral, completed in 1956, has a soaring, freestanding tower and spire. Shaped like an inverted ship's hull, the walls of its nave are clad with tufty, multicoloured rugs and there's a fine stained glass window.
The charming little onion-domed Bodin Kirke stone church at Gamle Riksvei 68 dates from around 1240. The Lutheran Reformation brought about substantial changes to the exterior, including the addition of a tower. A host of lively baroque elements - especially the elaborately carved altar - grace the interior.

Bodøsjøen Friluftsmuseum
The Nordland Museum has an open-air component, the Bodøsjøen Friluftsmuseum, 3km from town near Bodøsjøen Camping. Here you'll find four hectares of historic homes, farm buildings, boat sheds, WWII German bunkers and the square-rigged sloop Anna Karoline af Hopen. You can wander the grounds for free but admission to the buildings is by appointment. Here too is the start of a walking track up the river Bodøgårdselva, which eventually leads to the wild, scenic Bodømarka woods.

Norwegian Aviation Museum
The Norwegian Aviation Museum is huge fun to ramble around if you have even a passing interest in flight and aviation history. Allow at least half a day to roam its 10,000 sq metres. If you’re flying into Bodø for real, you’ll see that, from above, the striking modern grey and smoked-glass main museum building has the shape of an aeroplane propeller.
