Hailed as one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights, this European city should be your next holiday destination. The incredible lights have a firm place on almost everyone's bucket list, and what better place to experience them than Reykjavik, Iceland . The city has several 'light-hunting' expeditions that set off in peak season, however the natural phenomenon is not as easy to spot as you may think.
One of the best times to go is October, as there are longer, darker nights that are not too cold, so you can enjoy the expeditions without almost freezing. In October, you also have a better chance of spotting the beautiful lights as the skies tend to be clearer. It's also not peak tourism season, so it shouldn't be too busy.
Iceland and the experience of seeing the Northern Lights in the country have been highly praised by travellers far and wide. One traveller who joined the Reykjavik Excursions Northern Lights Tour wrote on the tourism advice website Tripadvisor: "After spending time at one location observing various different light shows, we were taken to another. We thought we had seen the best of the Northern Lights and were all strapped in ready to head back, when the bus lights went off, Kalli switched off the engine and told us to get off the bus quick.
The Northern Lights show we then experienced was out of this world, Kalli crying out, 'It’s a corona!', the best of the spectacles. Thanks to him and his persistence, we experienced something truly .
