One of Iceland’s most magical natural wonders is the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights — a breathtaking display of dancing colors that light up the winter skies. While many travelers journey into the countryside for a glimpse, you can often see the aurora right here in Reykjavik, especially on clear, cold nights.
Can You See the Aurora in the City?
Yes, you can! Though light pollution can affect visibility, Reykjavik has several dark spots just minutes from the City Center Hotel where you can catch the lights. Locations like:
- Reykjavik Harbour (6-minute walk)
- Tjörnin Lake by City Hall (3-minute walk)
- Seltjarnarnes Peninsula (short drive or tour away)
When to See Them
The Northern Lights are most visible from late September to early April, typically between 9 PM and 2 AM. Keep an eye on local aurora forecasts — our front desk team is happy to help!
