Sometimes you can see displays from the streets of Reykjavik but unless there is very strong solar activity, your best chance of an Aurora sighting is to get out of the city as far away from light pollution as possible. There are lots of companies who will take you out in search of the Lights; we went with Viator. You can read about our experience here.

Some Ideas for your Perfect European Winter Break

Granada, Spain

My first trip to Granada was many years ago in 2007, when my boyfriend's dad used to live in a little village in the mountains not far from the city. I've since visited the city several times, usually combined with a few days skiing or attempting to snowboard up on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, just an hour's drive from central Granada.

Gothenburg, Sweden

Sweden's 'second city' boasts a wealth of beautiful neoclassical architecture, as well as chic boutiques, vintage emporiums and cozy cafes - many of which are housed inside 17th century wooden houses. If you're looking for somewhere you can experience an abundance or art, culture, and some of the freshest seafood around, then Gothenburg should definitely be on your list!

Reykjavik, Iceland
