Your destination —
Iceland
Iceland, a land of striking contrasts, invites travellers to experience its otherworldly beauty, where glaciers meet volcanic landscapes and folklore blends with modern life. This remote Nordic island offers a unique fusion of dramatic scenery, geothermal wonders, and a deep-rooted cultural heritage shaped by centuries of storytelling and exploration.
Must-sees:
- Þingvellir National Park – A UNESCO-listed site where history and geology converge, home to the ancient Viking parliament and the meeting point of two tectonic plates.
- Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon – A mesmerising expanse of floating icebergs, where visitors can witness nature's raw beauty and perhaps spot a few seals basking on the ice.
- Reykjanes Peninsula – Often overlooked, this rugged coastal region is dotted with steaming fumaroles, dramatic cliffs, and Iceland’s famed Blue Lagoon, an oasis of warm, mineral-rich waters.
Culinary culture:
Iceland’s cuisine reflects its harsh yet bountiful environment, with fresh seafood, free-roaming lamb, and innovative uses of local ingredients. Traditional dishes such as plokkfiskur (creamy fish stew) and rye bread baked using geothermal heat are must-tries, while modern Reykjavik restaurants experiment with Nordic flavours, bringing creativity to every plate.
Dive deeper:
Beyond its famous landmarks, Iceland’s lesser-known treasures reward those willing to explore. The Westfjords remain an untouched paradise, with towering cliffs, remote fishing villages, and Europe’s westernmost point, Látrabjarg, home to vast colonies of puffins. In the north, the town of Akureyri offers a glimpse into Icelandic daily life, with its botanical gardens flourishing just below the Arctic Circle.
Good to know:
The ideal time to visit is late spring to early autumn for long daylight hours and accessible roads, while winter offers the mesmerising Northern Lights. Iceland’s landscapes are as unpredictable as its weather—layered clothing and sturdy footwear are essential for exploring its rugged terrain. Car rentals are popular, but the country's extensive network of guided tours ensures a hassle-free journey into the wild.
