The best time to see the colorful northern lights here is from August through April. Check the local forecast prior to heading out to increase your chances of catching them. Go to Selfoss, near Reykjavik, and see them from one of the villas available at Marta House.
If you arrive in winter, look for the lights from the popular Viking Cottage in Akureyri. It’s a cozy. one-bedroom rental that overlooks the bay. During their summer season, you can see the stunning midnight sun here too.
If you travel to Reykjavik, check in at Brekka Cottage. Situated on a hillside, “brekka” means slope, this rental features three bedrooms. From here you can take in scenic views of the surrounding mountains, the Atlantic Ocean, and the lights as well. During the day you can even sign up for a popular Iceland Winter Adventure.
They offer hikes on the ice-blue glaciers, go snowshoeing across the lava fields, and see bubbling hot springs and frozen waterfalls. They also offer trips to see the magnificent, multi-colored northern lights.
