Iceland
The best time to experience Iceland is all year-round.
Iceland is a country of extreme contrasts where long summer days with 24-hours of sunlight are offset by short winter days. You might want to visit during fall or winter and see the Northern lights with your own eyes. Or soak in one of the countless geothermal pools around the country – any given time of the year.
