Because it's winter and because Iceland is now seeing roughly four hours of sun daily, we know you want to go to Reykjavik right now. Actually, it's a surprisingly beautiful city nestled within a...

This is a good place for snacks and such, and perfect for relaxing with a cup of tea. Everything is fresh, and you can smell the bakery goods before you even walk in the place. The staff are...

What a charming place to get a hot dog! Don't expect to get one right away, though, as we stood in line for nearly half an hour to get one of Reykjavik's national treasures. It was worth it,...

Iceland is great, Iceland is crazy and Iceland is cold. Sometimes you start mixing all these characteristics. Like me. I went there in Oktober and all I brought with me was a lousy pair of chucks....

The National Church of Iceland or as we Icelandic tourist say” Þjóðkirkjan, is truly Lutheran. As so there is not much of the glamour and the whole „passion of the Christ“ hollywoodesque...

If you want to take a trip to Iceland, skip the major airlines - the cheapest way to do it is with Iceland Express, Iceland's low-cost airline. They used to only fly to Reykjavik from London, but these days you can get a flight from several major cities in Western Europe. So if you're in Europe...

In Iceland, there are plenty of ways to get around the island, including buses or rental cars, but really if you're planning on visiting every corner of the country, your best bet is to book domestic flights. Rejkyavik has two airports, the Keflavik international (which is the one you will...

This was not at all what I expected. I'm used to the spas in Europe and the United States, where everything is guided and you have someone to do everything for you and it costs half your monthly...

Reykjavik was the first place I ever visited in Iceland, and it opened my eyes to the wonder of this tiny nation. It's the country's largest city as well as the capital, but in a land where the...

I visited a friend in Akureyri, and my four-day visit there was life changing. Akureyri may be the prettiest town I've ever visited, and it was certainly one of the friendliest. It's a small...

Reykjavík is often dubbed "the nightlife capital of the north". It is famous for its nightlife during the weekends. Icelanders tend to go out late so bars that look rather quiet can fill up...

This restaurant in downtown Reykjavik is quirkily charming, with its 1930s Iceland decoration and cosy little rooms. On the night we went it was crowded, but there was no sense of intrusion, and...

There is nothing quite so thrilling in the world as a dangerous road, and Iceland's interior boasts several. In fact, if you hire a car, most companies will stipulate you're not allowed to take them into the Interior. Luckily, we had a 4x4, and pooh-poohed danger in favour of an intrepid voyage...

Hverarönd is an easy stop for those visiting the Krafla area, and it's fascinating to watch the field of solfataras as they gurgle and spit, heated by magma below. It's also quite a thrill to hear...
