Are the northern lights on your bucket list? Now's your chance to check it off. The northern lights are predicted to peak this winter and next year, offering the best viewing opportunities in over a decade.✨
Earlier this year, we traveled by train to the Arctic Circle to see the northern lights. We went through Sweden, but you can also take the train through Norway (all the way up to Bodø) or through Finland (to Rovaniemi). To help you plan your own northern lights adventure, we've created an itinerary based on our trip—tap the link to read the full itinerary: https://bit.ly/3BsP0GG
Earlier this year, we hopped on a train journey that turned into an unforgettable adventure. The northern lights safari is not the typical safari experience that normally comes to mind, but it’s guaranteed to boost your adrenaline with a slightly different and equally impressive sight of nature—green, purple, or even pink hues of light dancing across the vast sky.
Already on your bucket list? Make it happen this year with an Interrail Pass, visiting other hidden gems of the Arctic Circle. Check out our full itinerary at the link: https://bit.ly/3XFcHmL. Tag the person you want to experience this with in the comments. 🙌
