Travel Tips
Between October and Febuary is best the further North you can get the better, also away from any light source.
Have sailed in the Barents Sea off the North Cape of Norway and the sight is FANTASTIC!

Unfortunately for your current holiday plans, now is a pretty damn good time to go.

My friends have just gone to Lapland to get married and then see them straight afterwards - how romantic!

There must be other places though....
iceland! there is a tour i saw in amagazine recently. you could google it.
apparently now is the best time to go. before nights draw out a bit.
I would love to go.
hope this helps!

I have seen them as for south as Northern Texas, but the best by far were in Nova Scotia and Northwestern Maine. Pretty much anywhere north 50 degree parallel in the early winter is gives you a good chance, but the closer you get to the arctic circle the better your chances are.

Prolly head up north to Lappland, Sweden.U can usually it during the winter season.U can also try booking ahead a holiday that includes the Ice Hotel, U get to stay in an incredible hotel and view the northern lights.Hit 2birds with 1 stone. :) Of coz the higher up north u are, the better ur chances is.Northern lights most often occurs from September to October and from March to April.Hope that helps. Cheers! :)
