2015 Northen Europe

Summers are so short in Northern Europe that both locals and tourists want to enjoy while they last. Good news is that days are long - even 24 hours if you go above Arctic Circle. In Tromso Norway, for example, their outdoor botanical garden is open 24 hours during summer. People draw curtains when they want to sleep, but walking around at midnight as though it is just evening is an experience in itself. If you can find those rare clear weather days, you can truly enjoy this region.
