Beautiful Ports
As the capital, Reykjavík is a popular city and bustles with most of the country’s population. You can catch some of the awe-inspiring views at the famous church Hallgrímskirkja, while a trip to the Golden Circle allows a glimpse of the waterfalls and geysers.
Incredible Scenery
For yet more stunning views, Grundarfjörður is a small town tucked between the sea and the mountains on Iceland’s west coast. It’s here, around spots such as Kirkjufell, where visitors may even spot a whale.
Thermal Pools
The best for plunging, stewing and simmering, a dip in Iceland’s shimmering pools are an age-old pastime. Dating back to the Viking era, the Icelandic people have always been quite partial to diving into the many volcanic thermal pools, with most considering it a daily ritual.
