A Bohr model is essentially a circle which represents the nucleus. This circle frequntly shows the number of protons/neutrons in an atom. Each electorn orbital is a larger circle with a symbol made for every electron in that energy level.

The Bohr Model is probably familar as the "planetary model" of the atom illustrated in the adjacent figure that, for example, is used as a symbol for atomic energy (a bit of a misnomer, since the energy in "atomic energy" is actually the energy of the nucleus, rather than the entire atom). In the Bohr Model the neutrons and protons (symbolized by red and blue balls in the adjacent image) occupy a dense central region called the nucleus, and the electrons orbit the nucleus much like planets orbiting the Sun (but the orbits are not confined to a plane as is approximately true in the Solar System). The adjacent image is not to scale since in the realistic case the radius of the nucleus is about 100,000 times smaller than the radius of the entire atom, and as far as we can tell electrons are point particles without a physical extent.

Actual answer that isn't stolen: The best way to think of it is like a planet; electrons will orbit the nucleus like the planets orbit the sun. The problem with this model is that there is apparently nothing that would stop the electrons from collapsing into the nucleus because electrons regularly radiate away the energy needed to stay on course (whereas planets don't radiate energy from their momentum and are thus able to maintain their paths).

What did Niels Bohr contribute to the understanding of the atom?

Niels Bohr created the Bohr Model of the atom. It was an improvement on previous models (Thompson's Plum Pudding Model, Rutherford's model, etc.) which depicted the atom as a positive nucleus surrounded by negative electrons. Niels Bohr was also a member of the team of scientists working on the Manhattan Project.
