Our Guide to Scandinavia
The Northern Lights

The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis to be precise, occur across the Arctic region and are best visible throughout winter (which lasts longer at these high latitudes), when there are more hours of darkness and when the sky is clear of cloud cover. A Northern Lights holiday is an enchanting way to experience Scandinavia.

The Northern Lights
Best time to see the Northern Lights
January to March


These wintry months are considered to be prime time to view the lights, clear skies and a fresh blanket of crisp white snow are perfect conditions for spotting this elusive wonder.

April to August


The arrival of summer signifies the coming of the 'Midnight Sun', making the Lights almost impossible to spot as the north of Scandinavia is in almost constant light.

September to October


It may be possible to catch a glimpse of the lights in the reflective waters of Scandinavia's icy lakes during the autumn.

November to December


With the landscape changing dramatically and the nights becoming longer it is a brilliant to view the Northern Lights, although some cloud cover can shield the display.

Experience Scandinavia in Autumn

Discover the enchanting beauty of Scandinavia in autumn, where the region transforms into a vibrant tapestry of red, orange, and gold. As the summer crowds wane, the serene landscapes of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark come alive with the crisp, fresh air and the gentle rustling of leaves. Wander through the picturesque streets of Stockholm, marvel at the majestic fjords of Norway, or explore the charming countryside of Denmark. Autumn in Scandinavia offers a unique blend of natural splendour and cultural richness, making it the perfect time to visit.

Autumn is also the season of hygge in Scandinavia, a Danish concept that embodies cosiness and comfort. Embrace the warmth of Scandinavian hospitality as you sip on hot beverages in cosy cafes, indulge in seasonal culinary delights, and partake in local traditions and festivals. From the breathtaking Northern Lights in Norway to the serene forests of Sweden, autumn in Scandinavia promises an unforgettable experience filled with scenic beauty, cultural immersion, and a touch of magic.

Hagaparken, Sweden
Land of the Midnight Sun

The Midnight Sun is a truly spellbinding natural phenomenon. Best seen in June and July, this incredible occurrence is due to a tilt in the earth's axis and means that the sun never truly sets in northern Scandinavia in summer.

Instead, it hangs low and resolute in the sky, casting out an ethereal glow and painting the surrounding landscapes with enchanting, sunset hues of gold, red and pink.

Scandinavia Holiday Experiences

Geirangerfjord

Norway's landscapes and fjords

Norway's fjords boast towering cliffs and serene waters which create a scene of unmatched beauty. These glacial valleys, etched over millennia, offer a glimpse into pristine Nordic nature. Cruising here allows travellers to explore secluded fjords, coastal towns, and striking, untouched landscapes.

The Northern Lights

Witnessing the Northern Lights is an unforgettable experience, as vivid waves of green, purple, and pink light dance across the Arctic sky. Norway and Sweden offer prime locations for viewing this natural phenomenon and winter's long nights and clear skies give the best chance to experience the mesmerising display.

A Sámi experience in Swedish Lapland

Lapland is home to the indigenous Sámi people, offering visitors a unique cultural encounter. Here, you can experience husky sledding, try traditional Sámi dishes, and learn about their history and way of life. Lapland's snowy landscapes make it an ideal winter wonderland escape.

Food and fika

Nordic cuisine is celebrated for its fresh, local ingredients, from hearty stews to smoked fish. In Sweden, the tradition of fika - a social coffee break with pastries - is cherished. Savour traditional cinnamon buns, open-faced sandwiches, and a cup of coffee, savouring life the Nordic way.
