Reykjavik
Contemporary architecture sits aside snow-capped mountains and icy seas.
Huge views, grumbling volcanoes and spouting geysers – witness some of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders.
A joy for hikers and mountain bikers alike, this region, which includes the capital Reykjavik, is easily accessible for a short break.
Travel as far as you can, away from the easily reached sites just outside Reykjavik where a more undiscovered region awaits. Travel by 4×4 to reach the geysers and the sandy-coloured peaks at Landmannalaugar.
It’s all here. Things to see and do, places to explore and moments to discover.
Sail to Vestmannaeyjar in search of puffins and visit the lava flow towns.
The Fimmvorouhals or Five Cairns Pass is one of the top twenty hiking trails in the world. Trek the 23km in spring or summer to view the blanket of wild Arctic flowers covering the valley.
Treat yourself to a traditional Icelandic woollen sweater at Mosfellsbaer.
Hold your breath waiting for the sky reaching Geysir or the nearby more reliable Strokkur.

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.
Surrounded by mesmerising Icelandic wilderness, the 25 turf covered houses of Torfhus Retreat blend beautifully into their environment. Each of the traditional style houses has exclusive or shared use of a basalt hot tub – surrounded by great slabs of lava, these geothermal baths are both relaxing and rejuvenating. Interiors of the wooden retreat are cosy and welcoming with open plan layouts, underfloor heating and furnishings showcasing a sense of history and fun. Swords and shields adorn the walls of the viking inspired Langhaus where the lobby and dining room are lit by wagon wheel chandeliers and guests can relax on the fishing boat sofa.
