Where can I see the aurora in Sweden?

The Northern Lights can be seen in the Arctic Circle of Sweden, that is, in Lapland and its vicinity in the northernmost part of Sweden. The best viewing time of the Northern Lights is between September and March (autumn and winter).

In autumn and winter in Lapland, you can often see the Northern Lights in clear weather. It is suggested to watch the aurora in places far away from the urban areas and with weak light pollution, but when the aurora is strongest, it can be seen even in places with more lights in the urban areas. The Aurora Sky Station in Biscu National Park in Sweden is located in the middle of the aurora belt, which is one of the most suitable places to observe the northern lights in the world. It was once called the best place to observe the Northern Lights in the world by NASA.

Please note that the aurora phenomenon is caused by the high-energy charged particle flow (solar wind) from the earth's magnetosphere or the sun exciting (or ionizing) molecules or atoms in the upper atmosphere, so it is difficult to predict that this phenomenon will definitely occur at a specific time. After arriving in Lapland, Sweden, you can check the Aurora Index at any time (most hotels will forecast the Aurora Index to their guests and provide corresponding aurora viewing activities).
