How to Experience the Magic of Night Skies

But you don’t need to be in a dark sky reserve to go star spotting. Because of their remote locations, countries in the far north and south lend themselves especially well to stargazing. Being in the arctic wilderness of Norway offers a high chance of seeing the northern lights, while a winter escape in Iceland is another optimal opportunity to be dazzled by the aurora. Like New Zealand, Patagonia is another prime location to catch sight of constellations unique to the southern hemisphere. 

You’re not limited to those locations, either. Nights spent on the water along Croatia’s Adriatic coast will reveal spectacular nocturnal sights. And cycling through Portugal offers the opportunity to meet with an astronomer for a guided viewing of the night sky.  

There’s a whole world after dark, and so many ways to explore it. The choice of which star to wish upon is yours.
