13 Remote Stargazing Getaways With Pure Darkness And Pure Wonder

9. Kiruna, Sweden

Perched high above the Arctic Circle, the Swedish town of Kiruna offers a rare and mesmerizing celestial duality: stargazing beneath a sky alive with the Northern Lights. In winter, the polar night cloaks the landscape in extended darkness, creating an ideal canvas for both constellations and auroras to dance side by side. The crisp air and minimal light pollution heighten visibility, allowing stars to pierce the sky even as waves of green and violet shimmer overhead.
