Being able to see the Northern lights in Europe is a function of how active the Sun is, how close you are to the Arctic Circle. A latitude of 60 degrees North and in winter is usually favorable to seeing the lights, but no guarantees. The time of day: evening/night.
Light pollution from major cities also blocks the viewing as well as cloudy weather. Cold clear nights away from the cities is best for viewing the lights and stars.
The Aurora can be seen on occassion in lower latitudes +40 but is not as common as being near the Arctic Circle.

The further North you travel the better chance you will have of seeing them. It is dependant on Solar flares. The closer you are to the North Pole, the better. The Northern Lights can however be seen from a great distance from the North Pole. Northern parts of Europe or Canada would be particularly good, preferably in a rural area, away from light pollution.
