Hotels in Northern Norway, Norway
Northern Norway stretches above the Arctic Circle, famous for the Northern Lights in winter and the midnight sun in summer. Winter temperatures hover around 20°F (-6°C), perfect for chasing the aurora from Tromsø or going whale watching in the fjords, while summer's 60°F (15°C) weather lets you hike the Lofoten Islands' rugged trails or fish in the Norwegian Sea. If you visit during the equinoxes, you can explore the Sámi culture in Finnmark or kayak through the narrow Trollfjord, with fewer crowds than peak season.
