Enjoy this 9 días travel with five nights in the arctic circle and north. Five opportunities to see the Northern Lights.

Starting in Helsinki, we will get to know Rovaniemi (Finland), Kiruna (Sweden), Narvik (Norway), and Oslo, on an approximate route of 2384 kilometers.

According to astronomers, solar activity will be particularly high in 2024 - 2025 and that will create "significantly more" auroras dancing across the night sky. "We are now approaching the maximum, which is why I think we can expect a particularly high level of activity and basically auroras every few days. Whereas five years ago you had to wait weeks to see anything at all," says Darren Baskill, lecturer in physics and astronomy at the University of Sussex.

This is good news for anyone planning a trip to the Northern Lights in 2024-25. There won't be a better time to see the Northern Lights, at least not in the next 11 years.

FAQ

How to dress when traveling to Nordic Europe in winter?

People in Nordic Europe say: “There is no bad weather, only bad clothes.” It is all about wool and layers. If you follow these guidelines on how to dress in the Arctic, you will have a warm and comfortable Arctic Experience.
To feel warm and comfortable in the wintertime it is important do dress layer-by-layer:

First Layer

The first layer next to your skin should be long-sleeved and long-leg thermal underwear and wool socks. It is best to avoid cotton underwear as it quickly becomes wet and sweaty, and then you will get cold. Important: We recommend that you wear 100% merino wool next to your skin.

Second Layer

The second layer should consist of a long-sleeved, wool or fleece sweater and trousers. Thickness is depending on temperature and conditions.

Third Layer

The third layer should be a jacket and pants that is both water and windproof. It can be insulated or a thin shell depending on conditions, activity and what your first two layers consists of. For extremely low temperatures, cotton without a waterproof membrane is recommended. A scarf around your neck, and a pair of thick wool socks are a must!

Where to buy winter clothes for traveling in the Arctic region?

There are basically 3 opportunities:

Outdoor shops in your home country
Internet shops like Amazon
Outdoor shops upon arrival in Helsinki
