The Northern Lights can be viewed in Sweden, Iceland, Finland and Norway, and in other destinations above the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions.

There are many holiday options that give people the chance to view the Northern Lights at close range. Many offer accommodation that offer front row views of the Northern Lights in a winter wonderland setting.

One of the most impressive hotels in which to view the Northern Lights is at the Hotel Kakslauttanen & Igloo Village in Finland. There is log cabin accommodation, but stay in one of the glass igloos to view the Northern Lights from the comfort of your bed – the glass roof provides an uninterrupted view of the natural spectacle. In winter, Hotel Kakslauttanen offers husky, snowmobile and reindeer safaris. They also rebuild their onsite snow chapel and ice bar every year.

Every night the ICEHOTEL will offer guided bus tours of the Northern Lights.
