Do you need a passport to go to Canada?

Do the northern lights happen every night?

Fortunately, they occur frequently. The northern lights are happening 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, said photographer Chad Blakely, owner of the northern lights tour company Lights Over Lapland. But that doesn't mean they're easy to spot; you need to be at the right place at the right time.


Can you see the northern lights without a tour?

First of all, if the aurora is dancing brightly you'll be able to see it even from a city center (plus you'll always be able to get away from bright lights in Norwegian cities by heading to the parks). So if the weather and aurora forecast are good, you might not need to take a tour to see the northern lights.
