Frequently asked questions

Where is the best place to see the Northern Lights in Norway?

For the best chance of seeing the aurora, head north of the Arctic Circle to destinations like Tromsø, Alta, or the Lofoten Islands—where clear skies and high auroral activity increase your chances

Weather in Norway’s Arctic Region

Norway’s Arctic region, which includes areas like Tromsø and Svalbard, is known for its polar extremes: frigid, dark winters and short, cool summers with endless daylight. The Arctic climate here is dry and cold, especially inland and on the tundra, though coastal areas benefit from some maritime moderation.
