Iceland in a Nutshell - Reykjavik

5 Days / 1 location in Iceland

Iceland is situated in the North Atlantic ocean - a world beyond magic.

The first thing the Vikings saw centuries ago, when they arrived to South Iceland was the glacier Vatnajökull. Therefore they named the land, Iceland. Nevertheless, there is much more to learn about this fascinating country.

Iceland is a land of natural wonders:

Active volcanoes, vast lava fields, fertile valleys, hot springs, bubbling mud pools, mountains, waterfalls and of course glaciers.

Experience the Capital of Iceland which is a blend of the past and the modern world. You will find all facilities of a metropolis as well as the warm friendliness of a small town. On the doorstep of Reykjavik, the magnificent nature awaits you with experiences second to none.
