The northern lights. The green lady. Whatever you wish to call them, there is no denying this natural phenomenon is one of the most spectacular natural displays one can witness in this lifetime and Norway offers the perfect opportunity to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The northern lights have long been a part of Norse mythology and inspired some of its most gripping folkloric tales. The Vikings believed them to be a gateway to Valhalla and the afterlife, whilst other Norse people perceived them as a bad omen, establishing a number of superstitions to protect themselves. Whichever fantastical interpretation you choose to believe, the northern lights are revered in equal measure today for their astonishing beauty and undeniable magic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By now, most of us will have seen pictures of the glittering Nordic lights flooded all over the internet, but few can say they have experienced this electrifying spectacle firsthand. In this guide, you will find everything you need to know about chasing the elusive aurora borealis in Norway and how to ensure you get the best chance to witness them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/trip-gallery\/3-day-kirkenes-snow-hotel-1792004010\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>3-Day Arctic Norway and Lapland Adventure<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an excellent place to start planning your northern lights experience in Norway.

This causes us to see auroral displays in a range of different colours, shapes or forms. Green and pink are the most widely seen, however, it is also common to see streams of violet, blue or yellow lights. What makes the northern lights in Norway so special, is that you can experience them in a multitude of forms. Whether this be shooting rays, enigmatic cloud formations or colourful arcs, you will never see the same lights twice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, the northern lights are always naturally occurring, we just don\u2019t get to see them all year round due to the midnight sun of the Arctic Circle in the summer months. This is why the best time to see the aurora borealis in Norway is from November to March. Although, if you\u2019re lucky, you may still catch a glimpse as early as October or as late as April.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, a big challenge when chasing the northern lights in Norway is finding clear skies in often remote locations. It doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be cold, but it does have to be dark. Remember, the blacker the sky, the brighter the lights; darkness is your friend. The winter in Norway has long periods of darkness, meaning it\u2019s an ideal place for an aurora borealis sighting. Green and pink are the most common colours spotted when watching the northern lights, but you can also expect to see shooting rays of violet, blue and yellow cast across the sky.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Between 8pm and 2am is the best window for seeing the northern lights in Norway, and this is why many tours will start their hunt around in the evening. Often, the best lights are seen around midnight, but the northern lights are a rather unpredictable affair, so be prepared for a thrilling -and often surprising- adventure when you come to Norway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s best to book a tour that includes multiple outings on the trip to increase your chances of seeing the glittering light show.

Due to its latitude, the country is in the perfect prime area for witnessing the show, and although there are no guarantees, you could even catch the northern lights on every night of your stay!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best places in Norway to plan your <\/span><strong>northern lights trip to is Tromso<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, also regarded as \u201cthe Capital of the Arctic Circle\u201d. It is one of the easiest locations to get to northern Norway from any major European city, and as it is positioned well above the Arctic circle, it\u2019s also an idyllic destination for sky-gazing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although many choose to see the polar lights in the winter months, some spots get bitterly cold, especially if you are spending long hours outside waiting for the sky to ignite.
