Iceland's capital sure, but Reykjavik is still so close to magical nature and spectacular scenary. Coastal islands and spouting geysers aren't too far to be explored once you have toured the city's cultural scene.
The geothermal springs of the Blue Lagoon offer that quintessential Icelandic experience - a wonder of the world. Visit at night if you're hoping to combine relaxing spa waters with a sighting of the awe-inspiring Northern Lights.
For another water adventure join a whale or dolphin watching excursion. And why stop there - impressive wildlife can be found on dry land too, keep your eye out for wild Icelandic horses. Take your pick of hiking trails from the popular Mount Esja or the lesser-known Mount Úlfarsfell.
