Best places to visit in Iceland

  • The Blue Lagoon: This is Iceland’s most famous attraction. Located just outside of Reykjavik, these geothermal pools are blue because of their rich mineral content. Soak in the baths and experience their natural healing powers for yourself.
  • Myrdalsjokull Glacier Park: Explore the ridges of the Katla caldera by taking a guided tour of this beautiful park. Covered in ice all year round, these hikes are for the most adventurous travelers. Be sure not to miss the Fimmvorduhals Pass and Eyjafjallajokull.
  • Reykjavik: The capital of Iceland is certainly worth a visit. With the beautiful surrounding landscape and the charming downtown, Reykjavik has a personality all its own. Head to the glass dome, Perlan, to see the Wonders of Iceland exhibit and get great city views.

Winter in Iceland

As you can imagine, Iceland gets cold in the winter. However, this is also the best time to see the Northern Lights, so head north and keep your eyes peeled at night. You can also head to the glaciers to enjoy some skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling or snowshoeing. This is also the best time to head to the Blue Lagoon and soak in the warm healing waters.

Pleasant experience. No hard upsell of insurance. negative: no snow/ice free path to the office, and the studs in the winter tire one on passenger side was worn down to just below rubber so it didn't provide extra traction on that side.

Flew in at opening time, 0600. They shuttled us from the airport and handled us quickly and efficiently. We are Sixt Platinum customers, so we were treated exceptionally, as usual. Our only caution is that most of their vehicles are hybrid in nature. Not wanting to deal with locating charging stations, range anxiety or return level of charge we opted for the only non-hybrid option: a 2024 Dacia Duster diesel 4x4 with a manual transmission (luckily I drive manual). This extremely basic 4x4 turned out to be an absolute “mountain goat” safely getting us anywhere we wanted to go and even surviving a blizzard that shut the entire island down for half a day on 31 January 2024! Upon return, we were quickly shuttled back to the airport to continue on our way. Thanks Sixt at KEF- you made our trip worry-free!
