Rovaniemi by night last week. 💚 Did you know that spring in Lapland is actually a great time to see the Northern Lights? Longer daylight hours don’t mean fewer auroras. Clear skies and crisp nights make for perfect viewing conditions! ✨🌌 Where and when have you seen the most beautiful Northern Lights? 💫 📸 Johka - Arctic Experiences & Villas #visitrovaniemi #rovaniemi #northernlights #auroraborealis #arcticcircle #winter #lapland

The beginning of the year has been a stunning display of Northern lights in Rovaniemi 🥹💚💫 📸 @BookLapland We get so many questions about Northern Lights daily! Let’s answer a few! ⬇️💫💚 When can I see the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi? ➡️ From late August until early April ➡️ With clear skies ➡️ Usually after ten o’clock until morning - sometimes as early as six or seven in the evening Where can I watch the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi on my own? ➡️ The darker the better. Every now and then, Northern Lights are so strong, you can even see them in the city centre. ➡️ The Arctic Garden that surrounds Arktikum is located near the city centre and is easily accessible ➡️ Ounasvaara is within walking distance from Rovaniemi city centre and offers unobstructed views to the night sky ➡️ Olkkajärvi’s lean-to is a 15 min drive from city, easily accessible and generally known as good spot for seeing the Northern Lights ➡️ Arctic Circle Hiking Area is a 20 min drive from the city away from light pollution and city lights ➡️ Most importantly, guided tours will take you to great Northern Lights spots Can I go to the lean-tos of hiking trails to see the Northern Lights? ➡️ As independent traveller, you can use the private lean-tos and public hiking areas. These include, for example, the Arctic Circle hiking area and Ounasvaara. ➡️ Often, the forests are owned by someone, so it is not allowed to go to just any forest, near settlements or the shores owned by locals, as this would violate private property rights. Therefore, it is responsible and respectful to use the public hiking areas. How can I find the Northern Lights? ➡️ There is an excellent service available for the Rovaniemi area, which notifies you as soon as the Northern Lights are noticeable: Northern Lights Alert @nlalertfi ➡️ It is easiest to hunt the Northern Lights under the guidance of a responsible and competent guide, so we recommend booking a Northern Lights tour.
