Arctic Circle
Bedste tid at besøge
From September to March the nights are the longest, so this is when you have the best chance of spotting the northern lights. In June and July, the midnight sun offers an unforgettable experience in the uninterrupted daylight.
Budgettips
Crossing the Arctic Circle and the surrounding natural areas can be visited free of charge. Entry to the nearby Santa Claus Village is free, but the prices of souvenirs and local restaurants are higher, so it is worth bringing pre-packed snacks.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Polarcirklen ligger præcis på 66°33' nordlig bredde, og her lever verdens nordligste rensdyr. Over 600.000 besøgende opsøger årligt dette magiske sted, hvor den polare vinternat kan vare op til to måneder.
Højdepunkter: Ved overgangen til polarcirklen markerer en linje nedgravet i jorden grænsen, hvor du kan stå med den ene fod i den nordlige tempererede zone og den anden i den nordlige polare zone. I juli skinner solen her også ved midnat, og omkring sommersolhverv kan du nyde dagslys 24 timer i døgnet.
Insidertips
- Layered clothing is key: in winter it can be as cold as -30°C, so wear thermal underwear, a wool sweater, and a windproof jacket.
- The best photos can be taken during the midnight sun, around 11 PM, when the light takes on its warmest hues.
- Avoid the December peak season if you are looking for peace; rather visit in October or March when there are fewer tourists.
- In winter, be sure to try the reindeer sleigh adventure, which is a much more authentic experience than snowmobiling.
