Land: Iceland

Iceland, the 'Land of Ice and Fire', is an island in the North Atlantic, a place where nature manifests itself in its rawest and most powerful form. Its landscape, forged by volcanic and glacial activity, seems from another planet, with black lava fields, volcanic sand beaches, thundering waterfalls and the magical dance of the northern lights in winter.

Festivals en evenementen

Iceland's most famous tourist route, accessible in one day from Reykjavík. It includes three essential stops: Þingvellir National Park, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates separate; the Haukadalur geothermal area, with the Strokkur geyser; and the imposing Gullfoss waterfall.

A spectacular route that is home to some of the most iconic landscapes in the country: the Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, the basalt columns and black sand of Reynisfjara beach, and the village of Vík.

The Eastfjords are one of the least visited regions, which gives them a special charm. The road winds along deep fjords, connecting picturesque fishing villages such as Seyðisfjörður, famous for its blue church and rainbow street.

Bathe in a Geothermal Lagoon

Immersing yourself in the warm, milky waters of the Blue Lagoon, surrounded by a landscape of black lava, is the quintessential Icelandic experience. The silica mask and the feeling of relaxation are incomparable. There are many other lagoons and hot pools throughout the country, some more rustic and less crowded.

Walk behind a waterfall

At Seljalandsfoss, on the south coast, a path allows you to walk behind the curtain of water, offering a unique perspective and an incredibly refreshing experience. It is one of the most photogenic and magical places in the country, especially at sunset.

Explore a Blue Ice Cave

During winter, ice caves form on the edges of glaciers, such as Vatnajökull. Entering one of these caves with a guide is like entering a world of translucent blue glass. The light filtering through the ice creates a magical and unreal effect. It is an ephemeral and truly unique experience.

See Seals and Icebergs in Jökulsárlón

Watching the icebergs break off from the glacier and slowly float across the Jökulsárlón lagoon until they reach the sea is a hypnotic spectacle. Seals can often be seen swimming between the ice floes. Crossing the road to Diamond Beach, where chunks of ice shimmer on the black sand, completes the experience.

Ride an Icelandic Horse

The Icelandic horse is a unique breed, known for its robust size and extra gait, the 'tölt'. Riding through lava fields or along black sand beaches is a wonderful way to connect with the landscape and experience the terrain in the same way the early Viking settlers did.

Driving on the Ring Road

Traveling Route 1, which goes completely around the island, is the definitive road trip. It allows you to access most of the main attractions and discover the incredible diversity of Iceland's landscapes, from the eastern fjords to the volcanic plains of the north.

Tips van Culture & Heritage

Climate and Clothing

The weather in Iceland is extremely changeable and unpredictable. The key is to dress in layers. Essential at any time of the year: a thermal base layer, a fleece lining, and a waterproof and windproof outer layer. Don't forget a hat, gloves and sturdy trekking shoes.

Cost and Budget

Iceland is one of the most expensive countries in the world. To save, shop at budget supermarkets like Bónus or Krónan, take advantage of the accommodation kitchens and refill your water bottle at the tap. Reserve accommodation and rental car well in advance.

Driving

Renting a car is the best way to explore the country. Always check the state of the roads on road.is and the weather forecast. Be very careful with the wind, sheep on the road and sand storms. To access the highlands (F-roads), a 4x4 vehicle is mandatory.
