+ Reykjavík
+ While most Icelandic trips start in Reykjavík, this is not a whistle-stop city. Starting or ending your tour in its
+ capital is a great way to understanding the country and the culture.
+
+ In Reykjavík, you’ll find fine dining, boutique shopping, and trendy bars. But its real charm is in its famed landmarks,
+ museums, and cultural attractions
+
+ Marvel at Hallgrimskirkja
+
+ Start by visiting Hallgrímskirkja, the celebrated church of Reykjavík, whose architecture was inspired by the volcanic
+ landscape. Standing at 73 metres high, this is the largest church in Iceland! You can even take an elevator up the tower
+ to get a sweeping view of the city below!
+
+ In front, you’ll find the statue of Leif Eriksson, legendary explorer, who is believed to have been the first European
+ to land in North America around the year 1000.
+
+ See a show at Harpa Concert Hall
+
+ Harpa Concert Hall is another architectural landmark of the city, but also serves as a cultural touchstone thanks to
+ the numerous musical festivals and shows it puts on. No matter what time of year you come visit Reykjavík, you can be
+ treated to operatic Viking sagas, symphony orchestras, jazz festivals, and contemporary bands.
+
+ Visit the Perlan Museum
+
+ Whether or not you’re going to tour the country to discover its rugged and beautiful landscapes, wrought by both fire
+ and ice, then you should visit Perlan Museum whilst in the city.
+
+ This interactive museum focuses on showcasing Iceland’s natural wonders. It is the perfect place to learn and experience
+ it all from one location.
+
+ Because Perlan sits atop Öskjuhlíð Hill, this also means you’ll be treated to a great view of the city while you’re
+ there. This is an excellent way to kick off a tour to Iceland’s countryside.

+ Blue Lagoon
+ In the Reykjanes peninsula, in the south-west of Iceland, you’ll find the iconic Blue Lagoon. Gracing Instagram posts
+ and promotional ads alike, the Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland’s premier attraction sites. And we promise you the
+ attention is well-deserved.
+
+ The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa, a hot spring fed by the nearby geothermal plant, meaning the water sits comfortable
+ around 39°C (102°F). Set against a dark lava field background, the milky water is ethereal in contrast. Truly relaxing,
+ beautiful and iconic, it is a must-see.
+
+ Because of its location near the airport, but also a short journey from Reykjavík, it is ideal to add on to your trip,
+ either at the beginning or at the end of your Iceland travels.

+ Golden Circle
+ Whether you take the wheel on a self-drive trip or decide to join a guided group tour, the Golden Circle should be on
+ your road plan at least once in a lifetime. Enwrapped in this region is the historical heart of Iceland, and some of its
+ most incredible (and famous) natural sites, including impressive waterfalls, geysers, and hot springs.
+
+ Be inspired at Þingvellir National Park
+
+ The Þingvellir National Park is a major heritage attraction, in part because of its geographical significance (it sits
+ at the junction of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates), and because of its importance in Icelandic history.
+ It is here that in the year 930, over 30 ruling chiefs of Iceland joined and created a rudimentary representative
+ parliament. When you walk through this dramatic landscape, you can still see the foundations of that site today.
+
+ Heat things up with Geysir and Strokkur
+
+ Iceland is also famous for its geothermal energy and hot springs. Perhaps the most renowned hot spring is the giant
+ Geysir. When it is active (it can be years between active periods), this geyser shoots water up into the air as high as
+ 70m (230 feet). Nearby, you’ll find the much more reliable Strokkur geyser. It erupts every 5-10mins and can manage
+ heights of up to 40m (130 feet).
+
+ Walk on the edge at Gullfoss
+
+ Gullfoss means ‘Golden Falls’ and its hard to argue with the name when you see this gorgeous waterfall in the sunshine.
+ The falls are fed by the the ice tunnels of the glacier Langjökull that run to the Hvítá river, and it is a spectacular
+ way to be introduced to the waterfalls of Iceland.
