Iceland

1. Best travel season Summer (June-August): Daylight hours are longest and temperatures are warmest, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Summer is the peak tourist season in Iceland, especially suitable for glacier hiking, volcano exploration and viewing the Northern Lights (although the Northern Lights cannot be seen in summer, you can experience 24-hour daylight). Winter (November-March): Great for viewing the Northern Lights, the snow-covered scenery is spectacular. Although the daylight hours are short in winter, the atmosphere is mysterious and has its own unique charm. 2. Recommended major attractions The Golden Circle is Iceland’s most classic self-driving route, including: Thingvellir National Park: This is not only a geological wonder of Iceland, but also the intersection of the North American and Eurasian plates, where you can see rift valleys and geysers. Geyser Area: The famous "Geysir" is one of the most famous geysers in the world, erupting every few minutes. Gullfoss: This waterfall is magnificent, especially in winter when ice forms near the falls. South Coast: Seljalandsfoss: This waterfall can be walked behind and is one of the most unique waterfalls in Iceland. Skogafoss: Compared to Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss is larger and more majestic. Black Beach (Reynisfjara): The black sand beach, basalt columns and huge waves here are perfect for photography. Jökulsárlón: This is a lake with floating ice, and was the filming location for the movies James Bond and Frozen. Blue Lagoon: Iceland's most famous hot spring resort, the lake is bright blue and rich in minerals, making it an ideal place to relax and enjoy. 3. Traffic advice Self-driving tours: Self-driving tours in Iceland are the most convenient option, especially if you plan to travel the Golden Circle or the south coast. Road conditions are good, but be aware that icy and snowy weather may cause traffic delays. Car rental advice: It is recommended to choose a four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle, especially in winter, which can better cope with complex road conditions. 4. Accommodation recommendations Reykjavik: Iceland's capital, Reykjavik offers a variety of accommodation options, including high-end hotels, hostels and B&Bs. Reykjavik also has many restaurants and cafés where you can enjoy local cuisine. Countryside accommodation: If you want to escape the city, you can choose a B&B or small hotel in the countryside, which usually offers a more peaceful environment and starry sky. 5. Dietary recommendations Icelandic food: Icelandic lamb: Icelandic lamb has delicious meat and is often used to make lamb stew. Icelandic fish: The waters surrounding Iceland are rich in fishery resources, and fish such as cod and salmon are local specialties. Hákarl: Fermented shark meat, although it has a very strong taste, is a traditional food in Iceland. 6. Notes Unpredictable weather: Iceland's weather is very unpredictable and can change from four seasons in one day, so be sure to bring windproof and waterproof clothing. Safety first: Iceland's natural scenery is magnificent, but some places such as the edge of waterfalls, glaciers and volcanic areas can be dangerous. Be sure to follow local safety signs and instructions. Respect the natural environment: Iceland's natural environment is very fragile. Tourists should minimize their impact on the environment and avoid destroying the ecology and littering. 7. Special Events Northern Lights: Winter is the best time to see the Northern Lights. It is recommended to join a Northern Lights hunting tour, where professional guides can take you to the best viewing spots. Glacier Hiking and Ice Cave Exploration: You can take part in glacier hiking activities or enter the natural ice cave inside the glacier to experience the unique wonders of ice and snow. Whale watching: In Iceland’s waters, especially in the north, you can see many species of whales, including blue whales and humpback whales. Taking part in a whale watching tour is a unique experience.
