From September to March, the skies over the Lapland region across Finland, Sweden and Norway transforms into a living watercolor painting with vibrant greens, pinks and violets lighting the night sky.

Thanks to its unique “Blue Hole” microclimate, Abisko National Park in Sweden is another prime Aurora Borealis-viewing spot. The “Blue Hole” climate means skies are clear, even when surrounding areas remain cloudy, and the park’s low light pollution is another bonus. Guided tours, overnight stays and hikes are available to experience the lights on another level. © Conny Sjostrom | Dreamstime.com

Remote and with a 99 percent chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis, Yellowknife in Canada’s Northwest Territories is a popular area to spot the phenomenon.

A popular spot to hike any time of year, Mount Kirkkjufell in Iceland is renowned for its viewpoints of the Aurora Borealis.

Amidst the Arctic scenery, Nuuk, Greenland, is a great place to travel for the Northern Lights not only because of its dark skies but also because of its immersive local tours providing transportation and warm drinks as you chase the lights flitting over mountains, icebergs and vast landscapes. © Vadim Nefedov | Dreamstime.com
