Remember that song \u201c4 baj gaye lekin party abi baki hai<\/em>\u201d? Had you been in Norway in the summer, you would not be worried about how late you were partying because guess what? The sun does not set in Norway.<\/span><\/p>\n

Familiar with the concept – \u201cis raat ki subah nahi\u201d<\/em>. Take that in reverse in Norway. The country of the midnight sun is the only place where you don\u2019t experience a sunset for almost half a year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why, you ask?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

During the summer solstice, the sun does not set at the Arctic Circle<\/strong>. The farther you go in the north,\u00a0 the longer the days get. The sun does not set for six full months on the North Pole. This phenomenon where the sun does not set for a period of time is called the midnight sun.<\/span><\/p>\n

As much as Norway is famous for Northern Lights, the Midnight Sun also captivates the attention of the travelers. Think about living in a place where you can head out any time you want. Go shopping or eating at any time of the day because there is no day or night.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is why people of Sommaroy want to get rid of time-zone!<\/h4>\n

While people in the rest of the world are trapped in a time zone, people in Sommaroy are spending their time at their will. This is why people of Sommaroy in northern Tromso<\/strong> are campaigning to get rid of a time zone. They have every right to do so because the time zone does not apply here. People in Sommaroy do \u2018what they want when they want<\/strong>\u2019 during the two months when the sun doesn\u2019t set. However, they suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) when the sun does not rise for months.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

People from all over the world travel all the way to Norway to attend the Midnight Sun Festival<\/strong>; a night of music and entertainment where you get to jet ski and swim with the dolphins while it is still lit outside. It is a life-altering experience filled with mystique and beauty.<\/p>\n

Here are the places where you can find the Midnight Sun:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Arctic Circle:<\/strong> 12 June\u20131 July<\/span><\/p>\n

Bod\u00f8:<\/strong> 4 June\u20138 July<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lofoten Islands:<\/strong> 28 May\u201314 July<\/span><\/p>\n

Harstad:<\/strong> 25 May\u201318 July<\/span><\/p>\n

Vester\u00e5len (Andenes)<\/strong>: 22 May\u201321 July<\/span><\/p>\n

Troms\u00f8:<\/strong> 20 May\u201322 July<\/span><\/p>\n

Vard\u00f8:<\/strong> 17 May\u201326 July<\/span><\/p>\n

Hammerfest:<\/strong> 16 May\u201327 July<\/span><\/p>\n

The North Cape:<\/strong> 14 May\u201329 July<\/span><\/p>\n

Svalbard:<\/strong> 20 April\u201322 August<\/span><\/p>\n

Think about your trip to Europe<\/a> and Norway. You can go for a swim or take a stroll outdoor at even 2 AM in the morning when it is lit outside. It is so lit that you can easily read a book outside in the midnight light. Don\u2019t forget to pack an eye mask to help you fall asleep.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
