Lolz.
Northern Norway is supposedly the best, we were looking at even maybe doing a cruise up that way.

Svalbard
edit: sorry just noticed it’s a necro thread.
I’ve been to Iceland and Norway(Tromso). Iceland is a lovely place but it was too cloudy everyday to see the lights.
Saw them 3 times in 5 days in Tromso so i would go there again given the choice.
a truely magical experience. It is expensive though, i think a pint was around £8-10 although a few bars do happy hours which we made good use of. We also did reindeer sledding in the middle of nowhere which was surreal.
On the night where we did a specific northern lights hunt we stopped off on a beach and had a campfire dinner which was amazing but the lights didn’t show that early.
Download a solar forecast app and if you can leave with 2 weeks warning you'll have a better chance. Of you're very serious.
Then for local weather, cross your fingers.
How did you get to Tromso?

Quote:Hi all,
It's my 40th in October and one thing I've always wanted to do is see the Northern Lights...
I've booked holiday off work at the middle of October with the intention of trying to go somewhere I can see the northern lights.
Has anyone done this before? What's a good way to do it? I'm considering just the Mrs and I, but maybe take our three kids too if it's not prohibitively expensive.
Where is the best place to go and is October even a viable time to potentially see this phenomenon?
Cheers,
G
