After enjoying a picturesque sunset over the fjords of Bergen it was time to head up further north for part 3 of this series where we wanted to show you the best places to visit in the Lofoten and the city of Bodø. The Lofoten Islands are characterised by their mountains and peaks, sheltered inlets, stretches of seashore and large virgin areas which made up for an incredible road trip.
Before heading over to the Lofoten we landed in Bodø where we met up with Ellen from the Northern Norway Tourism Board who showed us around her city with all the sights it has to offer ranging from streetart to the tidal pools at Saltstraumen. Then it was time to take the ferry to the Lofoten. Besides all the Instagram Hotspots on the Lofoten we checked out the various beaches, explored the surfing culture and took part in the World Championship of Cod fishing.
Use this video as your Norway Road Trip guide in order to help deciding which destinations you want to include and/or which sights in Norway you want to explore yourself!

Saltstraumen is not "one of" the strongest tidal currents in the world. It is THE strongest tidal current in the world.

Very nice video but there was no need to show beers. I’ve been there twice and your heart trembles before so much beauty! We don’t need artificial intoxicants!
