The most beautiful places across the world to visit and see the northern lights

Aurora borealis
  • The Northern Lights, a spectacular atmospheric phenomenon, are best viewed in high-latitude regions around the Arctic.
  • Prime viewing locations include Tromso and Svalbard (Norway), Rovaniemi and Finnish Lapland (Finland), Reykjavik (Iceland), Abisko (Sweden), Yukon (Canada), Ilulissat (Greenland), Outer Hebrides (Scotland), and Fairbanks (Alaska).
  • Each location offers unique experiences, from Norway's milder temperatures and polar bear sightings to Iceland's accessibility and Greenland's tranquility.
  • The optimal viewing season generally spans from September to April, with variations depending on the specific location.
  • To maximise your chances, consider visiting during the equinox and solstice periods (March-April and September-October) or during the Polar Night in certain areas.
