If you're seeking a bucket-list destination that's anything but normal, then Iceland is your dream come true. While it may not be the cheapest location to tick off your list, trust us, it's worth every penny. With a history that dates back to the Norse traders and Viking warriors, Reykjavik, the largest city in Europe's second largest island, is a cultural hub that oozes charm because most of them are always chilling out.But let's not forget what Iceland is truly known for - its magnificent natural beauty. From dramatic waterfalls to soaring mountains, and everything in between, Iceland's landscapes will leave you breathless, literally if you dare jump into a waterfall during winter.
And, if you're lucky enough to visit during the winter, you might just catch a glimpse (because it will be so cold you might want to run back to your room) of the Northern Lights also known as the Aurora, a celestial ballet performance that can only be described as chilled-thrills.
But don't be fooled by the name - Iceland isn't just frozen or snowy all the time, it's got a lot of geothermal activity going on, ask a volcano if you are unsure. In fact, it's a country with diverse seasons, each offering a unique adventure. So remember if you wish to return home with your nose intact and still on your face then pack all your warm clothes and be sure to visit Iceland in a season favorable to you.
When you're not out exploring the great outdoors, Reykjavik is a cool destination to unwind and experience some of the world's best music festivals, indulge in a beer or two, or simply relax in natural thermal pools and venture out to do a lot of 'ice stuff.
So what are you waiting for? Pack your Viking hat or wool wraps and get ready to go on a jaunt to Reykjavik humming "ice, ice baby".
