This time we are going to explore the Lofoten Islands, a famous tourist resort in northern Norway.

Connected by roads and bridges, the narrow peninsula stretches from mainland Europe to the Norwegian Sea in the North Atlantic.

The Lofoten Islands are perhaps the best place in the world to dream.

Situated on several isolated islands off the beaten track, the mountains, fjords, ocean, and aurora borealis combine to shut out the hustle and bustle in this 'Lofoten enclosure' north of the Arctic Circle.

Lofoten is famous for its unique landscape, not only for its spectacular mountains and peaks but also for its stunning wilderness that rivals that of the Alps.

Open seas and magnificent bays, unspoiled land, and beaches remain pristine.

The Lofoten Islands lie above the Arctic Circle at roughly the same latitude as Greenland, but despite its high latitude.

It is much warmer than other areas at the same latitude due to the warm Gulf Stream, with average temperatures of only -1°C even in the coldest months of January and February, and 12°C in summer.

In fact, Lofoten is worth visiting all year round, with different seasons offering different scenery, so when the best season depends entirely on what visitors want to see for themselves.

Do you want to see the Aurora Borealis or experience the midnight sun?

Do you want to hike up a mountain or play in a world of ice and snow?

The aurora season in Lofoten is from September to April each year, from 9 December to 4 January Lofoten goes into the polar night, and from 26 May to 17 July it is the polar day, the best time to experience the midnight sun.

There is evidence that human settlement in Lofoten is at least 11,000 years old, and it was also the earliest Viking settlement.

And the best place to visit to discover the history of the Vikings is the Borg in Lofoten, where the Lofotr Viking Museum has a reconstructed 83-meter Viking longhouse that looks much like an upside-down ship.

When you enter the Viking longhouse, it is filled with thick log columns that still bear the marks of knife-and-axe chopping and carved screens in an elaborate style that reflects the rugged yet subtle personality of the Vikings.

The winter landscape has been attracting many photographers over the past few years.

With the growing popularity of Northern Lights tourism, which has begun to involve Lofoten, the historic silent life of Lofoten is becoming increasingly popular.

For a true sense of what lies north of the Arctic Circle, most people enjoy the short, cloudy days of mid to late January.

The sun still hangs over the horizon and a few hours of daylight fill the long transition from sunrise to sunset.

By mid-February, however, the archipelago begins to lose this Arctic-like feel and the days start to feel like normal winter days in the south of the African continent.

However, the advantage of this is that you now have more time to explore, and in March the islands are still in full winter mode, with skiing and other mountain activities very popular.

So, even after deciding you want to go in winter, it will still feel different to the islands.
