I reckon Tromso for the Northern, not sure if there is anywhere set up enough that is further north.

Somewhere close to the north or south magnetic pole. The NMP is somewhere near Baffin Island right now. The SMP is near the Antarctic coast due south of Australia. And auroral displays are best every 11 years at the times of maximum sunspot frequencies. 2001 was a good year, so now is not a good time to see them. But you could be lucky. I've seen good displays in McKinley Nat. Park, Alaska, Iceland, McMurdo Antarctica and the south of NZ. All these places are at least 3000 km from the magnetic poles.

The chance of seeing the northern and southern lights increases the closer to the magnetic poles you go.
But you also need nice weather, of course, because if it's cloudy you won't see the lights no matter where you are! How about Sibiria or Canada during a nice high pressure area in the winter?

Yes there is a nor-then light and a southern lights ,it is caused from the ionized particles From the sun. the atoms were so hot in the sun that they are all ionized ,not balanced. The alpha particles are attracted to the south pole and the beta particles (electrons) to the north pole.That will make the north pole sky negatively charged and the south pole sky positive charged. this behaves like a huge ion battery . Creating the upper ox. shield is kept ionized by the current which becomes our radiation shield, and causes the hole in the ozone layer at the poles.

Yeah! It's definitely Icealnd for the Northern lights but I think I agree with Southend for the Southern lights

somewhere really far north, Russia, Finland, Alaska, Canda, etc...
I'm not sure if there are southern lights

either within the arctic or antarctic circle, but wrap up warm young man it can pretty cold there
