Free · open it in the app and customise every day.

A land of raw, cinematic nature, Iceland is waterfalls, geysers, black-sand beaches, glaciers — and, in winter, the Northern Lights.

The essentials

The Golden Circle (Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss), the South Coast waterfalls and black sands, and a soak in a geothermal lagoon.

Good to know

Rent a car and drive the Ring Road, pack proper waterproofs, and visit September to March for the best aurora odds.
