Iceland

The land of hot springs, rugged nature, and the Northern Lights

Iceland is the westernmost country in Europe and is often considered an extraordinary destination due to its unique geography and natural beauty. It is the second-largest island in Europe and is home to approximately 360,000 inhabitants. The capital, Reykjavik, located on the southwest coast, is the largest city in the country. From the Netherlands, you can fly to Reykjavik in about three hours.

Iceland is known for its impressive landscapes, including volcanoes, geysers, glaciers and waterfalls.

The country has a subarctic climate, with mild summers and cold winters. Average summer temperatures range from 10 to 15 degrees Celsius, while the winter months are much colder, often seeing temperatures below freezing. The summer months, from June to August, are ideal for exploring the stunning landscapes and experiencing the midnight sun. On the other hand, if you want to witness the magical Northern Lights, the winter months, from November to February, are the most suitable. During this period, the polar nights create a spectacular display of dancing lights in the sky. Thus, the choice for the best travel time depends on your specific interests and preferences.
