Question Finland to Norway: Northern Lights Adventure

[ExploreAndChill]

Hello! I am planning a trip in October primarily to see the northern lights. Planning to start in Finland and then make my way to Norway. I'm curious about the best route to take, whether it's better to fly or take a train, and any must-visit spots along the way for the best northern lights experience. Also, if anyone has tips on budget-friendly accommodations or any hidden gems in these areas, that would be fantastic. Looking forward to your suggestions and experiences!

For a Northern Lights adventure from Finland to Norway, consider starting in Rovaniemi, Finland, then heading to Tromsø, Norway. Both are prime spots for aurora viewing. Flying is quicker, but taking the train offers scenic views and a unique experience. For budget stays, look into hostels or guesthouses in both cities. Don't miss the Arctic Cathedral in Tromsø and Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi for a mix of culture and fun. Any specific activities you're looking forward to?
