Where are some places to go in Iceland?

Question

my family really wants to go to Iceland next summer, so what are some places that you just can't miss?

Answer 1

Hi. You'll love Iceland! I love it so much I've been there twice in the past four years. Here are the places I recommend.

1) The Blue Lagoon-a geothermal spa composed of volcanic water. It feels heavenly. It's located a 1/2 hour southeast of Reykjavik.

2) The Golden Circle Tour- it goes from Reykjavik to the beautiful Gulfoss Falls, a volcanic crater, a greenhouse, a small church, Geysir National Park(with geysers and geothermal features) and Thingvellir National Park(of historical and scenic interest.)

3) The southshore tour from Reykjavik to the village of Vik-a distance of 150 miles. You'll see waterfalls, glaciers, beaches, farmland, and lava cliffs.

4) The Perlan in Reykjavik. It's a building on a hill perched atop four geothermal tanks. It has great views of the city, a revolving restaurant, a snack bar, and The Saga Museum.

Have a nice trip! Also go on Icelandair. com for other ideas. The tours I took were associated with Icelandair.

Answer 2

The answerer above me listed the most popular places near Reykjavík and they are very interesting to see. If you will have more time in Iceland and plan to travel a bit more, then I recommend following road no. 1 around Iceland. That's a nice trip for around 10 days with a lot to see on the way. You would see several beautiful waterfalls on the way, beautiful mountains, glaciers and fjords. Lake Mývatn in north-east Iceland and the area around are also truly beautiful.
