One of the greatest spots in the world to see the northern lights is Abisko, Sweden. The viewing possibilities in Abisko are available from September to April, but between October and March, you may see them almost every night.

While you may see the northern lights from outside your hotel or just outside the city, you're better off going to Abisko National Park or the nearby Kiruna Mountains, which are also excellent viewing spots.

Because Abisko is so famous for viewing the northern lights, there are numerous excursions available, so you may schedule one to ensure you are in the right place at the right time.

Troms is positioned on the auroral oval, where the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic fields are at their best, giving travelers the best chance of seeing the aurora. The fact that there are just a few hours of daylight during the winter months helps to extend the length of total darkness.

From September through April, there is always a high possibility of viewing the northern lights at Troms. The rest months of the year when the sky is dark enough to view the lights flashing across it. Before you book your accommodation and trips, check out the region's northern lights prediction.

Even during the best viewing window from September to April, rain, snow, and gloomy conditions are all issues. As a result, you should spend a few extra days in Iceland to optimize your chances. To pass the time, going on a trip to the Blue Lagoon or a glacier trek are good suggestions.
