Nordkapp lies so far north that aurora can appear even at moderate activity — but the weather is harsh.

Senja is Norway's second-largest island — wild, mountainous and full of calm bays perfect for aurora.

Kirkenes lies in the far east near the Russian and Finnish borders, with a stable winter climate.

Tromsø sits in the heart of the auroral oval and is one of the world's best places to see the northern lights.

Narvik has inland mountains, few people and frequent clear nights — strong conditions for aurora.

Alta is known as the 'aurora town' and has a long history as a centre for northern lights research.

Lofoten combines dramatic peaks and ocean with strong aurora chances — one of Norway's most photogenic spots.

Bodø sits on the edge of the aurora oval and can have great nights when the clouds break up.

Trondheim is south of the typical aurora oval, but strong activity can bring lights to the northern sky.

Oslo needs strong activity and clear skies to see aurora. It does happen, but rarely.

Stavanger is Norway's southernmost large city, and aurora is rare — but possible during strong storms.

Bergen is far south and often cloudy, but strong displays can be seen on occasion.
