Iceland Travel Guide 2026: Places to Visit and Icelandic Culture
Iceland is a volcanic island in the North Atlantic, and its currency is the Icelandic króna. The northern lights need dark nights, so most travellers choose the period from late September to late March. The weather changes fast, so dress in layers against wind and rain. Most nature routes lie within a day trip of the capital, Reykjavik.
Places to visit
- Reykjavik: Hallgrímskirkja church, the Harpa concert hall and Laugavegur street.
- Golden Circle: Thingvellir National Park, the Strokkur geyser and Gullfoss waterfall.
- South Coast: the Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls and the black sand beach at Reynisfjara.
- Snæfellsnes Peninsula: Kirkjufell mountain and Djúpalónssandur black sand beach.
Planning tips
The routes outside Reykjavik are optional extras on our programme, so decide in advance on the Golden Circle, the South Coast, Snæfellsnes, the Blue Lagoon and whale watching. Northern lights sightings depend on the weather and cannot be guaranteed.
