Iceland, Between Glaciers and Volcanoes

ABOUT THE DESTINATION:

Iceland is all about incredible natural wonders, from glaciers and geysers to lava fields, hot springs and volcanoes. Just below the Arctic Circle, it’s one of the most geologically active places on Earth. The famous Blue Lagoon is a must-visit, with its bright blue waters heated to around 37°C, perfect for relaxing. You’ll find a similar experience at Hvammsvík Hot Springs, where several pools sit right by the Atlantic Ocean.

In Reykjavík, traditional charm meets modern style. Colourful houses, great restaurants and a surprisingly lively nightlife give the world’s northernmost capital a unique vibe. Streets like Laugavegur are packed with boutiques and cafés, while the Harpa Concert Hall hosts cultural events and performances.

With TUI, it’s easy to explore Iceland’s highlights. Many trips include Northern Lights experiences and Golden Circle tours, where you can see iconic sights like Gullfoss, Strokkur and Þingvellir National Park. Whether you visit in winter for the Northern Lights or in summer for the Midnight Sun, Iceland offers unforgettable experiences all year round – and it’s also a perfect destination for a Fly & Drive holiday, giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace while having flights, car and accommodation all conveniently booked in one package.
