For the northern lights, get away from city lights — even a 20-minute drive makes a huge difference. Download a KP index app to track solar activity. The Arctic Cathedral (Ishavskatedralen) is illuminated beautifully at night.
Australians value informality — don't be too formal. Outdoor culture is huge; beaches are free and public.
