Best places to visit in Iceland

This fissure is in fact a wide canyon which stretches nearly 75 km. It is a perfect example of the volcanic activity that characterises Iceland and its influence on the landscape.

A dirt track leads around this charming peninsula where you can see seals, come across sheep, admire lighthouses and especially a quite extraordinary rock: the Hvitserkur.

A majestic mountain, for a climb off the beaten track.

Laki is a succession of craters situated in the south of the island. The site is difficult to access because it is situated on a track reserved for 4x4s but offers a beautiful hike for a few hours.

A village of fishermen on the slope of the cliff, with a beautiful pebble beach, steep cliffs and an excellent coffee to regain strength after the stroll...

What would Iceland be without its waterfalls? This one is located in the south of the country, not far from Fludir, on the road towards Landmannalaugar.

It's undoubtedly the most French city in Iceland, a small fishing port on the borders of the Eastern Fjords.

A pleasant town and a base from which to explore the surroundings, including Iceland's only forest!

A vast fjord that you can cross by ferry to get to Snafellsnes peninsula from Brjanslaekur in the Western Fjords and vice versa.

Borgarnes is a pleasant little town at the entrance to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. It has some great establishments and a stunning view over the fjord.

One of Iceland's numerous volcanoes.

A stopover village on Route 1. There's a waterfall you can visit and it's also the departure point for hikes into the Fjallabak Natural Reserve.

A pleasant village and only hamlet of this size in the southeast of the island.

A little fishing village enclosed in the fjords of eastern Iceland.

A fjord in the north of the country, away from Route No.1 that has excellent mountain and coastal walks.

A little port to the north of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and arrival/departure point for ferries linking the western fjords and the small island of Flatey.

A wide fjord which often goes unnoticed because a tunnel now allows you to bypass it and save a lot of time and distance.

Like most of the little islands around Iceland, Flatey is above all a stop for ornithologists and lovers of nature and tranquility.

Just opposite the little village of Djúpivogur, the island of Papey stands tall with its 2 square kilometres of uninhabited land. It is a landmark for the birds that come in the summer to nest in its cliffs and on its green slopes.

Above Husavik, a small peninsula facing the northern sea, which offers a beautiful view of the midnight sun in summer.
