Price and when to book

Best time to visit
Iceland is a year-round destination. Winter (November to February) brings northern lights, short days and snowy landscapes; it's the most magical season but with extreme weather. Spring and autumn offer moderate temperatures and fewer crowds. Summer features 24-hour daylight and is peak season. Whatever the season, pack warm clothing: Iceland is always cold.
What to do when you arrive at Keflavík
Keflavík International Airport (KEF) is 50 km from Reykjavik. From there, explore the Golden Circle (Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss), the south coast with its waterfalls, or the northern fjords. If travelling in winter, book northern lights tours. The capital, Reykjavik, has museums, nightlife and Nordic gastronomy. Rent a car or join tours: many secondary roads require experience driving in snow.
