Best time to visit
Iceland works year-round, but each season has its charm. Winter (Nov–Feb) brings northern lights and snowy landscapes; summer (Jun–Aug) offers nearly 24-hour daylight. Flight prices fluctuate widely with tourist season. Avoid peak dates (Christmas, Easter) if you want to keep costs down.
What to do when you arrive
You'll land at Keflavík, about 50 km from Reykjavík. The Golden Circle route (geysers, waterfalls, tectonic rifts) is essential; the Blue Lagoon is close to the airport. Winter trips offer northern lights tours. Black sand beaches, the Dyrhólaey cliffs and northern fjords are also worth it. Consider hiring a car if you're comfortable with Icelandic roads.
