Explore Reykjavik’s Culture & History

With the National museum of Iceland and the National art gallery both being situated in Reykyavik, it’s the perfect place to learn about the history of the Nordic Island.

The National museum takes you on a journey through Iceland’s past, present and future and the National art gallery is home to many exhibits, produced by some of the country’s most famous artists.

It is also home to an exhibition inspired by the belief of mythical creatures, which is an Old Icelandic folk tale.

Take a Unique Trip to the Glaciers and Ice Caves

The south of Iceland is home to many glaciers and ice caves and is a must see for anyone visiting the island during the winter but don’t worry if your itinerary is too full. The Perlan museum, in Reykjavik avoids the long journey to the south as it houses its very own ice cave. You’ll have the chance to take a guided tour, and then head to the top of the Perlan to admire 360 views of the capital.

Iceland’s Most Famous Hot Spots

Anyone and everyone who has visited Iceland will tell you that it’s one of the most beautiful countries they’ve been too, and that’s down to its many natural and of course breathtaking hot spots.

From the Gullfoss waterfall to the turquoise waters of the Blue Lagoon, both of these popular tourist attractions will take your breath away and your trip to Iceland won’t be complete without visiting them.

Two viewing points at Gullfoss allows you to take pictures you’d only normally see on a post card and a dip in the soaring temperatures of the blue lagoon will make you want to stay there forever.
