Why Iceland?
Because it�s close, it�s easy, it's exotic!

Iceland is closer than you think � and more fun than you�ve ever dreamt of. This mid-Atlantic island is the USA�s closest European neighbor. With a flight time from New York only a jet lag-free 4.5 hours, you�re ready for action as soon as you arrive. And no matter the season, there�s always more than enough waiting for you to do.

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. Cozy, charming, a �village feel� and friendly people. But as much entertainment, action and things to do as a metropolis of millions. And with all the modern conveniences, a high quality of life and world-class services.

Even so, it�s still only a 15-minute cab ride between downtown and wild nature, 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.
