Northern Lights

Arctic Norway, also known as the "Kingdom of Light," gives the highest opportunity of experiencing the magnificent Northern Lights. The region is widely recognized as one of the greatest in the world for viewing the light show due to its large open sky and lack of light pollution. Northern Norway is dark from early afternoon till late morning between late September and late March, and the northern lights frequently soar through the sky.

Even if you shouldn't take the lights for granted - they are, after all, a natural occurrence like the weather - you are nevertheless certain to see magical illumination in Northern Norway throughout the polar night. On clear days, the sunset colors in the south are stunning, while the sky to the north is a deep midnight blue. The snowy landscape is drenched in a crystalline, deep blue color during "the blue hour" at nightfall. Even if the Auroras don't dance, the starry, endless sky can let you reconnect with the universe. Oslo, the country's capital, is too far south of the Arctic Circle to observe the aurora borealis. So, you'll want to head to northern Norway where there's a handful of towns, like Tromsø and Svalbard, perfectly-situated for aurora viewing.
