VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF ICELAND

Nature and nightlife. Art and activity. Festivals and fashion.

A visit to Iceland gives you more choices for your vacation. In a single day you can walk on a glacier, watch graceful whales, read the ancient Sagas and indulge in award-winning cuisine. Iceland has unforgettable nature which begins on the doorstep of its clean and friendly cities and ends miles from human settlements. You can spend your time indoors in many museums and galleries, shopping for the latest designer fashions, or in a coffee house enjoying a frothy cappuccino. Or you can be outdoors on hikes, at festivals and parades or relaxing in the country’s famous outdoor thermal swimming pools. The choice to roam as you please, to explore and have fun, is the key to the Iceland experience.

Whether you visit Iceland to meet people or to get away from them, there’s ample scope for doing both. Likewise you can find a peace and tranquility that most modern city-dwellers only dream about, or action more intense than you’ve even known as you battle with the elements and forces of nature themselves.

Iceland is a friendly, clean and safe destination where most people speak good English. You can mix and match options to create your own vacation, either independently or on specialized tours. Just think of it as simple diversity: a huge range of activities but on a small enough scale to make it easy to get around. In Iceland you’ll find a place where you can be sure that there is space for you.

Iceland is easy to reach from America with daily flights of less than five hours on Icelandair, leaving from Boston, New York (JFK), and Baltimore. Icelandair also has regular flights from Orlando, Minneapolis and San Francisco. Stay as long as you want or get a taster of the country by enjoying a free stopover for up to a week en route to Europe.

This is Iceland. We look forward to welcoming you. Vertu velkominn!
