iceland
An island and several islets in the northwest of Europe constitute Iceland. The country boasts a rich cultural heritage dating back to the Viking era. Glaciers, sand fields, mountains and hot springs characterize the nature and terrain of Iceland. The most popular destination is the capital city, Reykjavik, although the inland cities have much to offer, as well. Dairy products, fish and lamb are the main ingredients in the local cuisine, while beer is the favorite beverage. We recommend you visit Iceland during the summertime, and take advantage of the beautiful midnight sun. Be sure to check out the options below before you book your stay in Iceland.
