Because of its vast landless areas of cities and large trees, where only nature shaves the ground, Sweden, and especially Swedish Lapland, is a fabulous place to contemplate the northern lights.

Sweden is also a high place of the culture of the Sami – the indigenous people of Lapland – and a land populated with velvet horns. This combines observation of the northern lights and cultural bath.

If you would like to observe the Northern Lights in Sweden, travel between mid-September and late March. The peak is between November and January. Indeed, during this period, the nights are the longest. Conversely, the summer season and its midnight sun prevent light ribbons.
