The Aurora Borealis, otherwise commonly known as the Northern Lights, is a spectacular sight to see and one of many reasons why tourists visit Arctic countries. In hopes of catching a glimpse of the majestic swirls and fissures that appear in the Arctic sky, many have come forth from around the world for a unique and memorable experience of a lifetime. One of the most visited places to see this phenomenon is of course the Nordic country, Norway.

The best time of year to visit Northern Norway for the Northern Lights is between mid-November and late March when the lights tend to soar across the dark skies more often. This is due to the fact that the skies stay dark for longer periods of time during these months, providing ample opportunity for you to witness something extraordinary.
If you are planning to visit Norway to see the Northern Lights, the ideal place to be is in the north of the country. As with any country in the Arctic Circle, you can expect freezing temperatures and increased likelihood of snow, so it is good to keep this in mind when packing for a trip to Northern Norway.
Additionally, although the lights are unpredictable, there is a greater chance of seeing them on a winter’s night, so you may find yourself waiting for their appearance on bitterly cold nights. To keep warm, ensure that you bring necessary equipment and clothing that will help you fare against the low temperatures during this time – thick jackets, layers of clothing, gloves, scarves, and thick sturdy boots.
Tromsø
For the optimum chance to see the Aurora Borealis, you will want to head north towards Bodø, and further to towns like Alta and cities like Tromsø. These places are popular with tourists, therefore, you will no doubt have an abundance of activities to do whilst in the area from bustling night scenes in the cities to conversing with locals, staying in ice hotels, and enjoying the tranquillity at relaxing fishing villages.
In particular, the city of Tromsø is renowned as a magnificent area to behold the Northern Lights where it is possible for it to appear in the city centre and in remote places around Tromsø. Tromsø is positioned in the centre of the Aurora Oval, or what is also known as the Aurora Belt, which indicates regions where the Aurora Borealis is likely to be seen. Thus, visiting Tromsø is the perfect way to watch the sky dance in green, pink, red, blue, and purple. View our northern lights holidays to Tromsø.
