Above the Arctic circle in the summer and below the Antarctic circle in the winter. Due to the tilt of the earth's axis, these areas have the "Midnight Sun" . But it is not year around - only during the particular season.

If you are in Lapland, at the very top of Finland, on June 21 -- there is vertually no night, only daytime. The sun dips down in the wee hours of the "night" after midnight, but comes back up again almost immediately, so you have 24 hours of light.
This phenomena is repeated at the North pole, or artic circle on the same day as well, but Lapland is easier to get to.

Anywhere above the Arctic Circle in summer. That includes parts of Alaska. Same would be true in Antarctica during the summer there.

There's no day "all the time" anywhere. However in the summer above the Arctic Circle the sun doesn't set for about two months. Same goes for Antarctica in the southern hemisphere summer (our winter).

It gets like that for a while in Alaska every year, although I don't know what time of year it is or for how long it lasts.

Either pole, at the right time of the year, has several days of no night. But they also get several days of no day!
