Bryggerikia

“Bryggerikaia, on the other hand, was established in 2005. After a somewhat troubled start in the first few years, the restaurant took off and has since been constantly developing. Bryggerikaia today stands out as one of Bodø's most visited restaurants. We are keen to create a meeting place for the many people where they can eat a pleasant meal or enjoy a good drink. The location is spectacular all year round right at the entrance to Bodø harbor and in the summer we have northern Norway's most beautiful outdoor dining area with its own outdoor bar and barbecue section.”

Løvold Kafeteria

“The cafe has had the same objective since the beginning: that everyone should be full and that the food should be of good quality. The host receives much recognition for its dishes of lamb, salmon, pollock and cod, as well as baked goods from its own bakery. Løvold is the place for those who want to choose from a menu with understandable words, eat Norwegian home cooking and get their fill of homemade food.”

Nordland Railway

“At 729km and taking almost ten hours, the Nordland line is Norway's longest single train journey. The railway crosses 293 bridges, ploughs through 154 tunnels and crosses the Arctic circle on its epic journey northwards from Trondheim to Bodø.

Known in Norwegian as Nordlandsbanen, the route still provides a glimpse into rural Norwegian life as it meanders its way north through industrial towns and small villages and past an ever-changing landscape.

It crosses the Arctic Circle on the journey, adding a certain allure to the route for international travellers.”
