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.
