Serene, Crisp, Picturesque
A solo trip to Iceland, embraced by volcanoes, snow and waterfalls. How many places do you get to visit that have signs in the toilet: “Tap water safe to drink”? Ah, I miss the geothermic water, abundantly available.
The city is serene, under-populated, and mainly deserted, but safe for wandering alone.
Highlights:
- Skogafoss – waterfall
- Seljalandsfoss – waterfall
- Glacier of Myrdalsjokull
- Black sand beaches and basalt sea stacks
- Geysir
- Volcanoes (including Eyjafjallajokull)
- Reykjavik City Centre
- Laugavegur (main shopping district)
*Vegans look away* …You can even try whale meat here!
Top Tip: I would recommend hiring a car to explore Iceland and its sites at your own pace.
Overall Rating: 9/10
