How to get there: airplane, train or bus

The natural choice is to book (early!!) a low-cost flight to Oslo (www.skyscanner.com) (f.ex. from Berlin for less than 50 Euro, at least 5 times a day, also from Hamburg, Amsterdam, Munich etc.), then from Oslo to Bodø either with another direct flight or train or bus (a whole day trip – but an adventure by itself). In case you’re looking at the flight with the low-cost Airline Norwegian (www.norwegian.no), you may consider buying it through the Norwegian travel agency www.ticket.no (online through skyscanner.com or directly through their service telephone +47 21493900, open 8 to 21). This is because ticket.no has a special deal with Norwegian airlines, allowing you two pieces of luggage for free
By all means, the Norwegian travel agency www.ticket.no as a very good service telephone and will help you in any way with your whole trip, even starting in your home country.
It is highly recommended to book early as flights (and train tickets) can get very expensive during the summer. Long distance busses like https://www.flixbus.com/ may be a good alternative.
Still, the train from Oslo to Bodø may be a good alternative. A group of about 10 participants will leave Oslo on Monday, July 2 at lunchtime, go out at Trondheim to every three hours walk through the historic capital with its beautiful cathedral and old town – and then jump on the night train to Bodø, arriving at 9 o’clock in the morning. Here we will meet and enjoy some sightseeing in the capital of the Nordland region, before taking bus and boat to the island Meløa. Here is the link to the Norwegian state railway NSB: www.nsb.no, and this is the specific search for the trip Oslo-Bodø.
