Places to see on your own:
Best season: September-March (roughly 21:00-02:00).
Download the Aurora Reach app and check Windy.com for clouds. For a darker sky, walk down to the riverbank, for example the beach by Arktikum.
Heading out to see the Northern Lights? It gets seriously cold at night.
Winter clothing rentalWinter temperatures can drop below -30 °C. Dress in layers and cover your head, hands and feet.
Wool or thermal base layers, a warm mid layer and a windproof outer layer work best. No proper winter gear? Rent a full Arctic outfit from our office.
Streets can be very slippery. Never walk on the river ice.
Shoe grips help a lot on icy pavements. When you watch the Northern Lights by the river, stay on the shore: the current keeps the ice thin even in deep winter.
In the dark season, wear a reflector when you walk outside. Finns do, and drivers will see you much earlier.
Around Christmas the sun barely rises. In June and July it hardly sets.
Plan outdoor activities for the brightest hours in winter. In summer, pack a sleep mask if you are sensitive to light at night.
