Iceland holidays

Iceland is a red hot destination and we dont just mean the volcanic and geothermal activity ! much of Iceland is still taking shape before your very eyes — raw, dramatic landscapes born from volcanic eruptions and carved out by glaciers. Other parts have hardly changed since the first Viking settlers saw them more than 1,100 years ago. You’ll experience wilderness and wildlife, energy and total calm, within easy reach wherever you stay, even on day trips.
Iceland is closer than you think – and more fun than you’ve ever dreamt of. The chilliest thing about Iceland is its name! In January, the average temperature in Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital is higher than that in New York. And Iceland’s welcome for tourists is always warm. Almost everyone speaks fluent English and Icelanders aren’t really given to formalities. After all, even the telephone directory lists people by their first name.

Reykjavik is a city where you’ll feel safe to walk the streets. Cosy, charming, a “village feel” and friendly people, but as much entertainment, action and things to do as a metropolis of millions. Even so, it’s still only a 15-minute cab ride between downtown and wonderful natural habitat, where you’ll feel you’re the only person on Earth. Iceland is the ideal place for taking a break and setting foot on a European outpost with an exciting, lively, and ancient – but living culture all of its own. You’ll feel at home – free to walk around, shop, admire, explore. It’s a place you could go on discovering forever.

Icelandic nightlife is one of the best in the world and must be seen to be believed. If you go out on a Friday night, you are well within your rights to continue partying until 10 am. Whether you want to dance the night away, listen to live music, find a quiet corner to chat, or mix and mingle with the jet set of Iceland, you’ll find somewhere that suits you.

There’s always something new and exciting in Iceland whatever the time of year, but be sure to check out the seasonal features.
