Future solar eclipse maps

Eclipses are heaven-sent chances to explore places you might never have considered. Unless you are in the UK where, from recent experience, it is more like a case of 50 shades of grey, but with no climax. It's easy to discover where to see the next solar eclipse - they're fixed far ahead, with at least one eclipse a year. So decide which one suits your diary, budget and interests. Also consider where has the best chance of clear skies on the big day. The next total eclipse in 2026 will sweep across Greenland, Iceland, Spain and part of Portugal, which is the perfect excuse to head into the Arctic and Catalan Pyrenees for light pollution-free skies. And remember: totality covers a spread of locations as the moon's shadow crosses the earth, so if the forecast isn't good in one spot, you might be luckier somewhere nearby.
Europe, 12 August 2026

1. Europe, 12 August 2026

Any total solar eclipse is thrilling, but the forecast eclipse of 2026 is even more so. That’s because it will be visible across Greenland and Iceland, famed for their spectacular natural landscapes. You can also catch this epic astronomical event aboard an Arctic cruise, or in parts of Spain, with cities such as Valencia and Bilbao also set to witness totality.
Tunisia, 2 August 2027

2. Tunisia, 2 August 2027

The Great North African Eclipse sweeps over nine countries in 2027. Tunisia is one of the best spots to see it, thanks to expected clear skies, tolerable temperatures, obstruction-free viewpoints and an epic duration of around six minutes. Stay long enough for sightseeing too, including the Roman amphitheatre of El Djem and desert oases.
Finland

3. Finland

Not an eclipse but Luosto in Finland is brilliantly set up for the Northern Lights, which are often viewed from a nearby lake. There are a great range of hotels and more rustic log cabins; many have “Aurora Alarms” to alert you to the arrival of the lights. Nearby activities include cross-country and downhill skiing, reindeer and husky safaris, and a trip down an amethyst mine.
