Norway is statistically one of the best countries for a northern lights holiday. With the aurora belt covering a large part of the country, visibility is best anywhere above the Arctic Circle, and on a clear night in the wilderness with no light pollution, there is a good chance of seeing the northern lights.

When to see the Northern Lights in Norway

January to March are said to be the best times to see the aurora borealis, so our northern lights Norway holidays are within these months, meticulously put together by our Nordics and arctic circle experts. Whether you're in the city centre or in the fishing villages on the coast, we know the best places to see the northern lights on the dark, polar nights of these months, making for the perfect Arctic adventure.

Best Places to See the Northern Lights in Norway

When you visit Norway to catch glimpses of the northern lights, it's important to know where is best to spot them. The Arctic Circle is an epicentre for the luminescent dance and Norway is a primary hotspot for the lights.

  • Tromsø city in Northern Norway is a prime location for witnessing them, with long, dark nights and clear, cloudless skies.

  • The Lofoten Islands offer a unique blend of elusive northern lights and scenic landscapes.

  • Senja Island is a hidden gem for northern lights sightings, with minimal light pollution.

  • Cruise to the heart of the Arctic Ocean for a prime chance of seeing the lights, and also enjoy a spot of whale watching.

Northern lights tours are one of the best ways to capture them at their best. Allow an expert to lead you out the vibrant city and into the wilderness, where you'll have the optimum chance of seeing the aurora light up the dark skies.
