Where to see the Northern Lights in 2024/2025
You may have heard that 2024 is one of the best years to see the lights! If you are anything like us, you may want to take a trip to better your chances of seeing them.
Here are a few places that will offer you a better opportunity:
Rovaniemi, Finland (Lapland) - a northern city in Finland with direct flights from several European destinations. There are several hotel options here with glass ceilings or large windows. Some properties will provide you with an app that will alert you when the lights are present. Fall 2024 would be a great time to visit! But this is such a magical destination when snowy. You could also visit in February or March. We saw the lights here in March 2024.
Tromso, Norway - another northern city with direct flights from Europe. One of our colleagues saw the lights here in 2024.
Iceland - Several clients have witnessed the lights while flying over Iceland. We recommend stopping in and staying for a few days!
Alaska - if you would prefer to visit North America, you can head to Alaska and select a destination that is in a remote area away from light pollution.
