From glaciers to geysers, a trip to Iceland offers many unforgettable natural wonders to see.
The sparsely populated Nordic island country is known for its active volcanoes, hot springs, geysers, and the Northern Lights. You can start with the Blue Lagoon, which features on virtually all Iceland itineraries. The geothermal spa located in an 800-year old lava field is only 20 minutes from the Keflavik International Airport, and an ideal place to relax after landing in the country.
The capital Reykjavik has an excellent cultural and gastronomical scene, which is easily explorable by foot in the walkable city. Iconic attractions here include the Hallgrimskirkja church, Sun Voyager sculpture, and the National Museum of Iceland featuring the celebrated carving of the famous Lion-Knight legend. Unwind at thermal pools or enjoy a concert at Harpa Hall housing the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Book a food walk tour and shop by at boutiques that sell lava pottery,

North Iceland is known for the Lake Myvatn area and the town of Akureyri, a popular base camp for many of Iceland's natural wonders. Dramatic landscapes continue in Eastfjords, the only place in Iceland where you can see wild reindeers.
