Top places to visit in Iceland

Reykjavík

In Iceland’s capital, you can explore the country’s Viking history through the National and Saga museums. This is also the spot to explore Icelandic cuisine, moving from restaurant to restaurant to sample a wide range of foods and the country’s famous craft-beer scene.

Thingvellir

This national park and key stop on the Golden Circle route throws on shifting tectonic plates and vast valleys full of greenery, bubbling geysers and thermal hot springs.

Snaefellsnes Peninsula

This region of Iceland is known for its dramatic landscapes. Towards the western tip, the Snæfellsjökull National Park is overlooked by Snæfellsjökull Volcano, topped with a glacier. You can also venture through lava fields to reach the black-stained Djúpalónssandur Beach.

Mývatn

Dominated by the volcanic lake of Mývatn, this region in northern Iceland is a great place to relax. A small village called Reykjahlíð offers home comforts, while the naturally heated lagoon serves up soothing waters. Nearby is Hverir, home to hot springs, boiling mud pots and fumaroles.
