Fairbanks, Alaska  

The main reason to visit Fairbanks is the aurora borealis — aka the northern lights. The city lies just below the Arctic Circle and has one of the best views in North America. That’s because it’s under the auroral oval, an area in which you’re most likely to see this spectacular solar phenomenon.

You can see the northern lights in Fairbanks, Alaska, from August through April on most clear nights. The city even has its own aurora tracker for the latest status from six prime viewing locations around the area.

Sign up for an aurora tour if you want a guided perspective: Northern Alaska Tour Company offers tours by ground or air.
