Iceland is the ultimate winter holiday; imagine volcanic landscapes, thermal lagoons, geysers erupting and of course, the spectacular Northern Lights.  It’s home to some of the clearest and brightest of skies too – so although chilly, the days will be fresh, making the scenery even more incredible.

No visit to Iceland would be complete without exploring the world’s most northerly capital city, Reykjavik. The perfect base for any Iceland trip, most day tours operate from Reykjavik, taking you out to rural parts of the island. But don’t be fooled – Iceland’s capital also offers incredible sights, a friendly culture and a cosmopolitan charm, so be sure to make time to explore it.

The city’s full of colour, as each and every corrugated iron house is painted a different colour to the next– take a moment to soak up the views around you before getting a few snaps. The night life won’t disappoint either – whether you’re a total foodie, want to experience the lively bars or enjoy a bit of both, Reykjavik has an abundance of world-class independent restaurants and quirky bars to party on down in with the friendly locals.

Iceland is very much a travel hotspot and we can absolutely understand why.  The destination offers something completely different to the norm!
