Best time to visit
Iceland is worth visiting year-round, but each season offers different experiences. Winter (November to February) is prime for northern lights, though conditions are harsh. Summer (June to August) brings endless daylight and green landscapes. Shoulder season (April–May, September–October) often has lower fares.
What to do when you arrive
You'll land at Keflavík (KEF), about 50 km from Reykjavik. Hire a car to explore the famous Ring Road, visit the Blue Lagoon, hike waterfalls like Skógafoss, and discover glaciers and canyons. Reykjavik has museums and nightlife. Five to seven days covers the essentials.
