Norway in the mid of March will be cold, better make it in April or May if you haven't booked any tickets and hotels and only if you want to enjoy the summer there...

Hi Pratibha, please go through this link, Northern Lights in Senja is the best option... https://visitsenja.live
Summer months from June to August are considered the best time to visit Norway: long days, midnight sun, relatively nice weather, and good access to famous sights like Preikestolen and Trolltunga.

Make your plan a little bit flexible since the lights are a global phenomenon. It is possible, but there are no guarantees because the season officially ends 30/03. There is a chance that you will have to wait longer. So make sure you got dates. Location Tip- You should stay north of the arctic circle to get the best views. I recommend the cities Tromsø, Kirkenes, and Kautokeino as bases. Especially Kautokeino, as it is far away from other cities and their light-pollution. It can get very cold there, however. Photography Tip- You must set your aperture value as low as possible (which would ensure the biggest opening for light to enter) and then set your focal length as per requirement. Also, make sure ISO is not too high which would bring grains into your photograph. P.S- I never got chance to go to Norway yet but I Know everything about Aurora Borealis kinda Obsessed. Good Luck!!
Happy Travelling!!
Hope you will share your experience with us.

We are planning to be based out of Tromso as suggested !
Many thanks for the detailed reply.
I have been to Norway last year May. If you are planning for Northern lights and snowfall sightseeing would suggest it's the best time to go in March. Though in March it will be tough to have a fjords 🚢 🏔️ ride in open deck as it's gonna be extremely chill, you can enjoy beautiful fjords covered in snow. Although, summer and winter both have there own charm in Norway both the experiences are amazing. I would suggest for Bergen take a ferry ride to flam and a train ride in one of the best train rides through waterfalls and mountains. Hope this helps you.
Happy travelling Regards

Hi, You can try Fredrikstad, Finland.

The first settlement of the Norwegian Renaissance, Fredrikstad, was established in the sixteenth century at the order of King Frederick II. The Old Town is located inside a bastion fort at the mouth of the Glomma, Norway's longest waterway. Fredrikstad was heavily fortified because it also acted as a Danish-Norwegian stronghold against the Swedes to the east.
