The strategic location of Lofoten allows tourists to see the lights from practically all directions and for a very long span from late August to mid-April. And as long as the sky is clear, you can watch them even if they are faint. It’s located right in the middle of the Northern Lights Oval, which is where the Northern Lights appear the brightest at their zenith. If you plan to visit Norway to see the aurora borealis, then Lofoten is your best bet. But not all of them know where to head for the purpose, and that’s what we are here to tell you.
