If seeing the Northern Lights is something you’d like to cross off your list, there’s plenty of tours around the world that are happy to provide you with the first-hand experience to see this amazing natural phenomenon. So here are some of the best places to see Aurora Borealis herself.

Aurora Borealis Lodge: This amazing 1,000-sq.ft lodge was specially made for seeing the lights! It’s located 20 miles outside of beautiful Clearly Summit, far away from the city lights of Fairbanks in the USA. The lodge was built facing the North and it sleeps 6 guests, so you don’t have to witness the awe-inspiring sight all alone.
The Hotel Kakslauttanen: This hotel in Finland is also the perfect place for seeing the lights, as it’s just north of the Arctic Circle. The Kakslauttanen is as close to the Urho Kekkonen National Park and the best part is you will view the lights from a heated igloo with a glass ceiling.
Alta-Can Aurora Tour: You might be interested in doing more as you see the light, the Alta-Can Aurora Tour is what you definitely need. Guests take part in wilderness experiences, make dream-catchers and even go skiing.

Aurora Borealis and the Nothern Lights Tour: Yukon is the smallest of Canada’s three federal territories and one of the most attractive places to view the Northern Lights thanks to the wide open skies and the absence of bright city lights. The tour takes you to all the best spots, while dog sledging, ice fishing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling.
Arctic Adventure Tundra Lodge: If you prefer to view the lights accompanied by polar bears, then you should jump aboard the Tundra Lodge, which is known as the world’s only moving hotel.
