When and where in October

In the Scandinavian cities such as Stockholm, Olso, Copenhagen or Helsinki you’re always guaranteed a fantastic city break of amazing places to explore with so much to see and do. October is also a great month to travel for the Northern Lights however it is an ‘in between’ month in many places in the Arctic Circle. The snow has not yet arrived so some of the more popular winter activities such as dog sledding and snowmobiling are not yet possible; so it is important for us as your Adventure Artists to know what is most important to you during your trip for us to suggest the best place for you.

A trip to Iceland is perfect for October months particularly for a self-drive exploratory trip around the island. The reason being is that it is before the tougher and darker winter weather sets in which makes driving the ring road more challenging, and gives you the chance for blue sky days to admire the famous cascading waterfalls and the black sand beach with a beautiful bright backdrop, but still great Northern Lights chances in the evenings. And if it is chilly you can always warm up in a hot spring whatever the time of day or year!
