Stunning Northern Lights Watching spots

Seeing the northern lights live is a dream come true for many people. This is not surprising, because its beauty and rarity have captivated more than one traveler for centuries. We have collected the best hotels in Finland from where you can comfortably look at the shining lights of Aurora Borealis. Enjoy this moment.

Here is what we chose for you:

Nellim Aurora Bubble, Finland

The Finnish Nellim Hotel is known for its bubble houses, where guests can watch the twinkling lights of the Northern Lights in miniature domes with a transparent canvas. This hotel is located in the very north of Lapland, that is, far enough from civilization. And yet Nellim is firmly in our top with the wonderful views that can be captured here.

Harriniva Aurora Dome, Finland

The Harriniva complex in Finland is known for its “glamping” – a completely new type of tourism that brings comfort and style to the traditional ascetic camping. Therefore, the simple domed houses in Harriniva are furnished warm enough to stay warm at night, and in igloo tents you can comfortably watch the aurora borealis spreading across the sky over Lake Torasjärvi. Travelers can rent a snowmobile, ride a husky sled or book a tour to a reindeer farm.

Northern Lights Village Aurora Cabin, Finland

This remote Lappish village is the perfect spot to watch the Northern Lights. The traditional Lappish cabins here boast huge see-through ceilings so guests can comfortably view the incredible shimmering sky from their beds. Northern Lights Village also offers many excursions: guests can ride a reindeer and dog sled, walk in the picturesque surroundings in snowshoes, go fishing on the ice and arrange a photo hunt for the aurora borealis.

Golden Crown Igloos, Finland

One of the most unique places on our list is in Finland. Here visitors can live in an igloo, the walls and ceiling of which are huge windows. From here you can see the surrounding forest and, of course, you can see the aurora borealis perfectly. The complex is located quite far from big cities, but civilization can be found already only 10 kilometers from Golden Crown Igloos, namely in the ski town of Levi.

Kemi Seaside Glass Villa, Finland

The famous castle in the Finnish city of Kemi attracts tourists because it is rebuilt from compressed snow from year to year. However, this is not the only remarkable thing about this city – the nearby villas also deserve attention. These snow-white houses with huge windows blend in perfectly with the surrounding landscape – and are perfect for watching the northern lights from them. By the way, here you can see not only a unique natural phenomenon. Guests can also visit the Sampo Icebreaker and the History Museum with a large gallery of precious stones.
