Iceland: Your Next Paradise

Another attraction that most visitors come to see is the Northern Lights. These can be observed from late August to May, but the best viewing is during October and April when the night skies are much darker.

The best place to view the Northern Lights can be found on the tip of the Seltjarnarnes Peninsula during the winter months. Here are some other areas where you can catch this spectacular display: Grotta Oskjuhlio Vik Þingvellir National Park Ásbyrgi Canyon

Volcanoes of Iceland

Iceland is also known for its impressive volcanoes, which are popular attractions. However, they may be quite difficult to reach, with some spanning up to 3,000 meters (10,000 feet). Here are some notable volcanoes you might encounter: Eyjafjallajökull Katla Mount Hekla Grimsvötn

Nightlife in Reykjavik

While there is plenty of landscape to see in Iceland, the nightlife is vibrant, especially in Reykjavik. The city is known for its fast-paced nightlife, restaurants, bars, clubs, and craft beers. There is rarely any wait to get into a bar or restaurant, and most stay open until 04:00-05:00 on weekends!

Most of the bars and clubs are located around the main shopping street of Laugavegur. This strip of bars, clubs, and restaurants will satisfy all your needs. They call it a bar crawl for a reason!

Here are a few places to visit when you’re in need of a drink or two: Lebowski Bar (most popular) 12 Tónar (free espresso upon entering, yay!) Kaldi Bar

• Icelandic Craft Bar (check out the comedy club downstairs) Bravo (happy hour doesn’t end until 8pm) Micro Bar (great for craft beer) Dillon Whiskey Bar (great for whiskey drinkers) Magic Ice Reykjavik Kex Hostel Reykjavik

Many of these places are located right on the strip, but be sure to check their hours of operation.

No matter where you decide to travel in Iceland, you will always find a breathtaking view. It doesn’t matter what your agenda is; there are so many things to explore in this beautiful country. Explore it. Embrace it. Enjoy it.
