Best Things To Do In Iceland

1. Explore the Golden Circle: This popular route is a fantastic introduction to Iceland's landscapes. It includes a visit to the Thingvellir National Park, Geysir Geothermal Area and Gullfoss Waterfall. 

2. Relax in Geothermal Spas: Iceland is renowned for its geothermal activity, offering numerous hot springs and spas for relaxation. Some of the famous spas on the island include Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon. Other, less crowded and potentially more affordable alternatives are the Secret Lagoon or Myvatn Nature Baths. 

3. Witness the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis): During the winter months (September to April), Iceland provides an excellent opportunity to witness the Northern Lights. Many travellers find guided tours helpful, as experienced guides can lead you to prime viewing locations and offer scientific insights.

4. Explore the South Coast: The scenic stretch of coastline is packed with stunning natural attractions. Marvel at the majestic Skogafoss waterfall and walk behind the unique Seljalandsfoss for a different perspective. Visit Reynisfjara black sand beach, famous for its basalt columns, sea stacks, and powerful Atlantic waves. 

5. Glacier Views: See the Solheimajokull Glacier Tongue, which is relatively accessible for viewing or even glacier hiking. Embark on a unique adventure depending on the season. 

Best Time To Visit 

The best time to visit Iceland depends on what you want to experience. Summer (June-August) offers the warmest weather, midnight sun, and access to all areas, making it ideal for hiking and sightseeing.

Winter (November-March) is best for Northern Lights viewing and geothermal spas, but expect colder temperatures and potential road closures.

Shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) provide a balance of fewer crowds and some nice weather, with opportunities for both Northern Lights and some summer activities.
