Iceland Tourist Information
Located in the far north of the Atlantic Ocean, Iceland’s popularity is gained by its immaculate natural features: glaciers, geysers, volcanoes, peaks, hot springs and lava deserts. Unlike any countries in the world, Iceland has more than 200 active volcanoes on its frozen land. This is why jagged lava fields with geysers and hot springs are commonly found, and they have shaped such an eccentric landscape to Iceland. Naturally heated pools are usually spotted yards away from a glacier.
Aside from its extroverted terrain, its capital city, Reykjavik, has got many great pubs and bars for night clubbers. Akureyri, Iceland’s second largest city, has some of the best weather in Iceland and is home to the famous Botanical Gardens. If you are nature lover, head to Myvatn. This lake area is best known as a paradise for bird watchers. Hiking trails, golf course and geothermal pools are also available.
Summers in Iceland can be really warm, but winters are not as freezing as most people imagine. Icelandic is official language, but English is widely spoken.
Considered one of the countries with highest standards of living in the world, Iceland undoubtedly has a range of fine accommodation to offer tourists. View our directory of discount hotels in Iceland and start planning your trip to Iceland now.
