Logistics
When to Go
You can see northern lights anytime from September to March, but I recommend sticking to the winter months (December to February) to maximize your chances.Â
Check the full moon before you book! With the moon comes more light in the sky, meaning northern lights are much harder to see. Ideally, go during the week of the new moon, but it’s okay as long as you give 4-5 nights of buffer around the full moon.
To maximize your chances of the best sightings, try to stay 5 nights in case the weather doesn't cooperate for a night or two.Â

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater!
I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where!
I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too!
If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you!
My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny.
I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
