Strange question I must admit, but basically we're thinking of booking a winter break and Mrs. Cyco and I have always wanted to see the northern lights! I'm wondering if anybody here can suggest some nice destinations where we have a good chance of seeing them?

Preferably Europe but may consider Canada, Iceland is too expensive! Skiing / winter sports not essential but would be nice. Must be in or near somewhere with even a little bit of nightlife (bars, restaurants).

Any (sensible!) ideas welcome

Thanks Lau! I'll take at look at those

We're not too bothered about Skiing but it would be nice to have the option.

Canada would be quality but most probably more expensive then Europe, mind you saying that you can go nearly anywhere in the world nowadays without a huge budget. Have a cracking time wherever you decide to go.

Yeah, I've always fancied a trip to Canada. We've thought about the Ice Hotel before and it's currently our firm favorite but we're still open to suggestions, especially cheaper options

Yup, the Ice Hotel is still the clear favorite at the moment!

£800 each not including spending money for a three-night break though
