What are the top sights in Iceland?
North of Reykjavík lies the mountain Esja, which with its almost 3000 feet height protects the city from the cold polar wind. The mountain offers one of the easiest ways to get to know Icelandic nature. Plan your hike up Esja from your accommodation and admire the everlasting landmark of Iceland. Even inexperienced hikers can dare the ascent in this region.
And not only the capital and its surroundings are worth a visit, a trip to the south of Iceland is also worthwhile, especially because of its many glacial lakes and glaciers, which can be visited during extended hikes. Probably the best known and most popular hiking trail in Iceland is the Laugavegurinn. It connects the nature reserve Landmannalaugar and the mountain ridge Þórsmörk. Here you can experience the southern highlands, consisting of volcanic landscapes, glacial rivers and geysers, over about 34 miles. You can hear and see the geysers at regular intervals, as they then eject hot water and steam into the air. You can also marvel at these wonders of nature in other parts of Iceland, such as the Strokkur geyser in the beautiful town of Selfoss, which is located southeast of the capital. So it is an opportunity to spend a dreamlike hiking vacation in Iceland.
The country has a lot to offer not only to hikers. In the west of Iceland is the place Reykholt. From your accommodation you can book a wild ride on the Iceland Riverjet. Your captain will steer you swiftly and safely through narrow gorges and over dangerous rapids, always with breathtaking scenery in the background. An absolute must for action fans. And horse lovers won't miss out either. Experience Iceland from the back of a horse and ride along the white sandy beach of Löngufjördur or along the volcano Hengill. Those who prefer to observe animals from a distance should take part in whale watching during their stay in a vacation home Iceland, for example in the town of Húsavík in the north of the country. During the months from May to September, you will encounter sperm whales, humpback whales and blue whales - a fantastic experience that you won't soon forget. So, for this spectacle, you should not visit the country in winter. In the north is also the city of Akureyri, here is the largest shipyard and the largest cannery in Iceland. Especially worth seeing is the Botanical Garden, which contains almost all native species and several hundreds of foreign plants.

What to see and do in Iceland
While there is a great deal of metropolitan culture to appreciate, primarily in the nation's capital Reykjavik, the main draws for most visitors are the stunning landscape and the outdoor opportunities. No visit to Iceland would be complete without some rejuvenation in a geothermal spa - volcanically heated pools of natural salt water. The most frequented, and for good reason, is the Blue Lagoon - its proximity to the capital makes for the perfect half day trip. For those feeling adventurous, hiking is a very popular activity, though routes can be challenging and it is advised to prepare well.
The Gullfoss waterfall is one of the country's natural highlights. This double 32m high waterfall is located in the south of the island, just over an hour's drive from the capital. Heading further east, you'll discover Europe's largest glacier, Vatnajökull. Not only that, you'll also get to witness Europe's most powerful waterfall and the highest mountain in the country.
