Tromsø, Norway

 This thriving city is located in the “aurora oval” as well, which will give you a great view of the lights for a big chunk of the year. Unlike places with the same latitude as Tromsø, the climate is milder because of the Gulf Stream. If you love good music, you should time your visit to coincide with the Northern Lights Festival. You’ll be entertained by different genres of music, plus see the aurora up above. You won’t find a better combination elsewhere.
