Norway

Norway, which is located in the Arctic Circle, is known as the Land of the Midnight Sun because there the sun never sets from May until late July. This implies that the sun does not set for roughly 76 days. It is also the northernmost inhabited territory in Europe. Starting from April 10 to August 23, the sun never sets in Svalbard, Norway. You can schedule your trip to this location now and look forward to the days without nights.

Iceland

Iceland, which is the second-largest island in Europe after the United Kingdom, is renowned for not having any mosquitoes. Iceland has clear evenings in the summer and the sun never sets throughout June. Visit the Arctic Circle's Grimsey Island and the city of Akureyri to experience the Midnight Sun in all its splendour.

Nunavut, Canada

In Canada's Northwest Territories, two degrees above the Arctic Circle is where Nunavut is situated. During the summer, this area has around two months of nonstop sunlight, while the winter months bring about 30 days straight of complete darkness.

Barrow, Alaska

The polar night, which lasts for 30 days from the beginning of November and is characterised by the sun not rising, compensates for the fact that the sun does not set here from late May to late July. This also implies that during the brutal winter months, darkness prevails throughout the nation. This location may be visited in either the summer or the winter and is renowned for its snow-capped mountains and captivating glaciers.

Sweden

The sun sets in Sweden at about midnight and rises there around four in the morning from early May to late August. Here, the period of uninterrupted sunshine may continue up to 6 months out of the year. Therefore, when there, one can pass the time by engaging in a variety of exciting activities.
