Iceland
Embrace the magic of Iceland’s geological wonders. Reykjavik, the capital, fuses modernity with Viking heritage. The Golden Circle reveals geysers, waterfalls, and Thingvellir National Park. Explore the ethereal landscapes of Jökulsárlón’s glacial lagoon. Relax in the Blue Lagoon’s geothermal waters.
Wild and wooly Northern Iceland is a part of the country most people do not get the opportunity to see. However, we think making the journey here is well worth the expedition, stopping at some outdoor swimming pools along your way.
The Icelandic capital feels more like a large fishing town rather than a bustling city, even though 60% of the country live here. The city is comfortably walkable and worth exploring if only to mix with the charming locals in our suggested local favourites.
Locals view the West as a land of folklore, knitting (eyes peeled for a sheep round up) and small fishing towns that litter the coastline. Hop on a boat and see if you can spot a whale or a colony of puffins.
A short drive from the countries capital and you will immediately feel off the beaten track. Black sand beaches, glacier lagoons geothermal baths and ice caves are all things you can experience in this corner of the country.
