Therefore, there&#8217;s a high probability of spotting this natural phenomenon if you travel to Tromso. Strictly speaking, between September and April is the best time to see the Northern Lights. At this time of year, sightings can be as frequent as every night! On the other hand. Tromso is a city, so spotting the lights might require a drive out into the wilderness and away from light pollution. Although, if the weather conditions are clear it&#8217;s possible for the dancing &#8216;green lady&#8217; to make an appearance directly above the city! Easily accessible from much of Europe, Tromso is a safe bet and the best place to see the Northern Lights.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rovaniemi_Finnish_Lapland\"><\/span>Rovaniemi, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/us\/europe\/scandinavia-and-the-baltic-states\/finland\">Finnish Lapland<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Northern-Lights-BLOG-Finland.png\" alt=\"Best place to see the Northern Lights: Lapland\" width=\"690\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A true winter wonderland, Rovaniemi is a magical destination. Not only is it the official home of Santa Claus, but it&#8217;s also one of the best places to see the Northern Lights on earth! Visible for around 150 nights a year, the Aurora Borealis adorns the skies above Finnish Lapland frequently between late August and early April. Although Rovaniemi is a city, within a short walk you can find numerous spots for viewing the Northern Lights. Of course, a dark night and optimum weather conditions are required, but you&#8217;ll have a great chance of viewing the Northern Lights if you visit Rovaniemi during the winter. Furthermore, husky rides and snowmobile excursions offer an unforgettable way to explore the wilderness under a sky of dancing lights!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reykjavik_Iceland\"><\/span>Reykjavik, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/us\/europe\/scandinavia-and-the-baltic-states\/iceland\">Iceland<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Northern-Lights-BLOG-Iceland.png\" alt=\"Best place to see the Northern Lights\" width=\"690\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Besides Greenland&#8217;s Nuuk, Reykjavik is the only capital city on earth where you can view the Northern Lights! Known for its brilliant architecture and fantastic sightseeing, Reykjavik is one of the best places to view the Aurora Borealis. Easily accessible from Europe and the United States, the Northern Lights generally appear when the nights are longest (between September and April).<\/p>\n<p>Although artificial light may affect your chances of sighting the phenomenon from the city center, on the darkest nights you still have a good chance of seeing the lights from certain places in the capital. One such place is at \u00d6skjuhl\u00ed\u00f0 Hill, one of the most popular Northern Lights viewing spots in the city. Alternatively, drive just a few miles outside of Reykjavik to increase your chances of sighting the Northern Lights. Furthermore, if you&#8217;re traveling close to mid-winter, you might even sight the Aurora Borealis from the famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/us\/blog\/best-things-to-do-in-iceland-discover-the-land-of-ice-fire\/\">Blue Lagoon<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Orkney_Scotland\"><\/span>Orkney, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/us\/europe\/western-europe\/scotland\">Scotland<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5471 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Northern-Lights-BLOG-Scotland.png\" alt=\"Aurora Borealis\" width=\"690\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Known locally as the &#8216;Merry Dancers&#8217;, the Northern Lights make frequent appearances above the skies of Orkney every winter. An archipelago off the northeastern coast of Scotland, Orkney is close to the Arctic Circle. This proximity and lack of light pollution make it one of the best places to witness the Northern Lights in the United Kingdom. Of course, autumn and winter are the ideal time to go hunting for the auroras in Orkney. The darker and clearer the skies, the higher chance of catching sight of this show-stopping phenomenon. Furthermore, Orkney has an array of other captivating sights, from Neolithic sites to seal colonies and dramatic sandstone cliffs.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kola_Peninsula_Russia\"><\/span>Kola Peninsula, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/us\/europe\/eastern-europe\/russia\">Russia<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5472\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Northern-Lights-BLOG-Russia.png\" alt=\"Kola Peninsula, Russia\" width=\"690\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dancing across the sky for more than 150 nights a year, the remote Kola Peninsula in Russia is one of the best places to see the Northern Lights. Lasting from mid-August to April, the Northern Lights season in this region of Russia is an incredible spectacle. Reaching into the Arctic Circle, parts of the Kola Peninsula experience uninterrupted darkness for 40 days at a time. The absence of sunlight makes this one of the most successful places to spot the Northern Lights. Furthermore, popular destinations to visit on the Kola Peninsula include the cities of Murmansk and Arkhangelsk.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yukon_Canada\"><\/span>Yukon, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/us\/america\/north-america\/canada\">Canada<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Northern-Lights-BLOG-Canada.png\" alt=\"Canada: best place to see the Northern Lights\" width=\"690\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the heart of northwest Canada lies Yukon.
