Bodø

Bodø is the biggest city in Nordland with 40,000 inhabitants and this is also where the railroad ends when traveling north in Norway. Bodø has for many years been the main center of commerce in the region and is also an important fishing town. In 1940, the city was completely ruined by German bombings and the only thing left was the 13th-century cathedral. The city is worth visiting and has a couple of interesting museums, although most people only stop here briefly before taking the boat over to Lofoten. Bodø is also widely known for the many sea eagles gliding gracefully across the sky.
