Iceland Travel

The forces of nature are never far from the surface in Iceland, the land of fire and ice. From its famed ring road, you can experience it all. The ghostly ribbons of the northern lights. Volcanoes spewing lava into the night sky. Glaciers that tumble down mountainsides to whale-inhabited seas. Tantalizing geothermal pools and geysers that you can set a watch to. Landscapes many believe are still the haunt of fairies. And when all that gets too much, there’s also the nightlife of Reykjavik, widely hailed as some of the best in the world.

Cities & regions in Iceland

Reykjavik

While humble in appearance, the Icelandic capital isn’t so shy when it comes to great attractions. Basking in its reputation as a creative hotspot, Reykjavik manages to be both edgy and traditional. Community remains strong, and whether you explore the museums or knitwear stores, you’re sure to regret booking that return flight quite so soon.

Reykjanes Peninsula

Jutting boldly from Iceland’s southwest corner, the Reykjanes Peninsula has an otherworldly landscape forged from near-constant volcanic eruptions. From boat tours to quad bike adventures, Reykjanes is all about exploring the great outdoors. But should the weather take a turn for the worse, there’s always the fine museums to fall back on, whether art or rock music is your bag.

Iceland’s Golden Circle captures the raw beauty of the country by linking three incredible destinations. Cross a continental divide in Thingveillir National Park, witness the explosive force of Geysir Geothermal Area’s water spouts then witness the beautiful cascades of Gullfoss Waterfall.

Eastern Iceland

Eastern Iceland is home to just a few thousand people, but some incredibly dramatic scenery.

Northern Iceland

The wilds of Northern Iceland are just that – wild and untamed. Far from the coziness of Reykjavik, its rugged landscape is a harmonious blend of empty roads, soaring mountains, evocative fjords and eye-popping waterfalls. What’s more, between September and March the northern lights are all but guaranteed.

Western Iceland

Home to the capital, Western Iceland is most visitors’ first glimpse of all the country has to offer. Brush up on your history in one of Reykjavik’s museums before exploring a landscape as diverse as gently-smoking mountain-tops and black sand beaches.
