There are few places on earth as raw and as breathtaking as Iceland. This rocky northern Atlantic island conjures images of gushing geysers, bubbling mud pools, icy volcanoes, and vast glaciers that forge pathways through rugged mountain terrains.

But that’s not all a holiday to Iceland offers - you’ll also see stunning lengths of rustic shoreline, huge tumbling waterfalls, and some of Europe's most beautiful untouched countryside. Truly, landscapes in Iceland are as cinematic as they are beautiful, and its natural wonders as powerful as they are serene, and while it's the promise of the northern lights that keeps the visitor numbers up, it's the exceptional warmth of its people and the inclusiveness of its culture that makes them keep returning year after year.
When is the best time to visit Iceland? Well, it depends what you want to see and do! In summer (June to August), the weather is mild and the days are very long, so you can travel, hike, go whale watching and explore waterfalls and glaciers easily. It's also a good time to see puffins and to take road trips. Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) are quieter, with fewer tourists and lower prices. The colours in nature are beautiful, and you might get a chance to see the Northern Lights in autumn. Winter (November-March) is cold but wonderful, with frozen beauty, ice caves and more opportunities to see the Northern Lights. Please note that some roads and tours may be restricted due to weather. Most UK travellers will find summer the best time for sightseeing and winter the best time for snow, ice caves and aurora views.
