Best places to visit in Iceland
- The Blue Lagoon: This is Iceland’s most famous attraction. Located just outside of Reykjavik, these geothermal pools are blue because of their rich mineral content. Soak in the baths and experience their natural healing powers for yourself.
- Myrdalsjokull Glacier Park: Explore the ridges of the Katla caldera by taking a guided tour of this beautiful park. Covered in ice all year round, these hikes are for the most adventurous travelers. Be sure not to miss the Fimmvorduhals Pass and Eyjafjallajokull.
- Reykjavik: The capital of Iceland is certainly worth a visit. With the beautiful surrounding landscape and the charming downtown, Reykjavik has a personality all its own. Head to the glass dome, Perlan, to see the Wonders of Iceland exhibit and get great city views.
Winter in Iceland
As you can imagine, Iceland gets cold in the winter. However, this is also the best time to see the Northern Lights, so head north and keep your eyes peeled at night. You can also head to the glaciers to enjoy some skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling or snowshoeing. This is also the best time to head to the Blue Lagoon and soak in the warm healing waters.
