The nearest restaurants, the best attractions, the way to the northern lights … It is certainly true that there is an app for everything these days.

Visit Norway – Norway in your pocket

The Visit Norway app gives you information about thousands of places to stay, restaurants, activities, and attractions on and near your destination.

Norway Lights

Norway Lights is a website with a northern lights forecast as well as an app with an overview of places known as main “northern light cities” in Norway. It has a user-friendly interface that is designed to help you decide when and where to go aurora chasing, as well as how to get there.

The app provides a three-day northern lights forecast with an hourly forecast for the current day. It gives recommendations to go, try or wait for the northern lights in a specific city, based on weather forecast and solar wind activity.

Useful information such as facts about the northern lights, a map indicating your position in relation to other Norwegian cities, photo tips, and other tips & tricks are also included in the app in addition to handy short-cuts to flight and tour options.
