❄ Aurora Viewing Tips**

  • The best time to see the Northern Lights is from September to early April.
  • The optimal viewing window is from 12:00 AM to 2:00 AM, when the night sky is darkest and the aurora dances brightly.

🌌 Best Aurora Viewing Locations**

  • Lapland, Finland (especially Rovaniemi): The Northern Lights appear on average every other night during winter, and the Santa Claus Village adds a fairy-tale charm.
  • Tromsø, Norway ("Gateway to the Arctic"): Situated within the Aurora Zone, it’s possible to see the Northern Lights even during daylight hours.
  • Iceland: The only country where the Northern Lights can be seen throughout the entire country. Whether in Reykjavik or Snæfellsnes Peninsula, the sky above is always your stage.
