While we’re all grounded, we’ve got some time on our hands to really plan and think about achieving our biggest travel goals. A favourite for many is to see the Northern lights, or the Aurora Borealis, and although viewing the phenomenon is wildly dependent on weather patterns, getting to the right place at the right time of the year may be easier than you think. Here’s our guide to the best places to visit to give yourself the best chance of taking in the spectacular sight.
Tromso, Norway
Tromso is the largest urban area in Northern Norway and is located 217 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The beautiful scenery includes magnificent fjords, alps and the Lofoten Islands, an archipelago in the Norweigan Sea, providing one of the most spectacular backdrops to the Northern Lights. The best time to see the lights in the Tromso area is mid September to Late March.
