A proposal to remember

A proposal is one of the most significant moments in a couple’s life, and it should be unforgettable. It’s a moment of joy, love, and commitment, and it should reflect the couple’s personality and style. Northern Norway offers a plethora of romantic settings that cater to every taste and preference.

Best Spots to Propose in Northern Norway

1. Fjellheisen

Go to Tromsø’s iconic cable car and it’s one of the most popular landmarks in Northern Norway. Get up to the top of the mountain with the cable car or the sherpa steps. Enjoy the views of the city with your partner before dropping on one knee.

This unique viewpoint on the city makes it an ideal spot for a romantic proposal.

2. The North Cape

The North Cape is the northernmost point of mainland Europe, located in the Arctic Ocean. It’s a place of incredible natural beauty, where the ocean meets the sky, and during the midnight sun phenomenon (between middle May and middle July). The North Cape is a popular tourist destination, but it’s also a perfect spot for a romantic proposal. Picture it: proposing at midnight, with the sun still shining, or the Northern Lights illuminating the sky

3.Under the Northern Lights

Proposing under the Northern Lights is a dream come true for many couples. The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, are a natural phenomenon that occurs in the Arctic regions, where charged particles from the sun collide with the Earth’s atmosphere, creating a spectacular light show. The Northern Lights are a symbol of magic, wonder, and romance, and proposing under them is an unforgettable experience.

There are so many possibilities! You can take your beloved one to a minibus chase, go to an Aurora Camp or stay overnight in a glass hut find even more options here.

4. Trollfjord

  1. The Trollfjord is a narrow fjord located in the Lofoten Islands, known for its steep cliffs, crystal clear waters, and abundant wildlife. The Trollfjord is a popular destination for cruise and boat tours, but it’s also a perfect spot for a romantic proposal. Imagine proposing on a boat, with the fjord’s majestic cliffs in the background, during summertime under the Midnight Sun.

Get to Lofoten by bus with The Arctic Route, from 15 June to 31 August from Tromsø.

5. Sommarøy

The “Summer Island” is famous for its incredible white sand beaches and turquoise waters. A great time to propose is during the everlasting sunset or the Midnight Sun when the sun never sets below the horizon, creating 24-hour daylight. Proposing during this natural phenomenon is a unique and unforgettable experience that will stay with you forever.

Northern Norway is a land of Arctic wonders, where love stories are born, and where dreams come true. It’s a place of incredible natural beauty, where the Northern Lights dance in the sky, and the sun never sets. Whether you’re looking for a secluded beach, a mountain top, or beautiful Northern Lights, Northern Norway has it all. So, if you’re planning to pop the question, consider Northern Norway as your destination, and make your proposal a moment that you and your partner will never forget.
