An urban cultural city on the edge of nature

Bodø & Salten region is the ultimate combination of culture and nature. Here you will find one of Norway’s fastest growing cities, which will be the European Capital of Culture in 2024, located in the middle of magnificent natural gems in the surrounding region.

If you haven’t been here before, you have a lot to look forward to! The summer in Salten is magical and full of contrasts – from the sea and white sandy beaches to steep mountains, from quiet undiscovered gems to bustling city life, and from wild nature to welcoming and warm-hearted locals. Here you get to experience magnificent nature without having to stand in line.
